SOCIAL MEDIA STATS
Duda Owner IONOS • November 24, 2015
Just in case you were wondering about the current state of social media minute-by-minute, we can thank Larry Kim (Founder of WordStream, Inc.) for gathering some data. Here are some of the highlights about what is happening every 60 seconds on social media:
- 9,722 pins to Pinterest.
- 284,722 snaps to Snapchat.
- 347,222 tweets to Twitter.
- 1,041,666 videos played on Vine.
- 1,736,111 likes on Instagram.
- 4,166,667 likes on Facebook .
I have a sneaking suspicion that social media will be around for a while. What do you think?

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
