Here’s something I bet you didn’t know: as late as 2010, 50% of all music was still being sold on CDs. If that number seems high to you that is because the sales figures are from the RIAA’s revenue figures. Here’s a graphical breakdown of how music has been sold over the past 30 years from 1980-2010

Several studies have found that Facebook, Twitter and Google are as addictive as drugs.
People react like twitchy addicts denied their drugs when forced to give up access to the Internet and other electronic media.
And just like a boozer who leans on bourbon as a social lubricant, online addicts believe that people who aren’t hooked on the information superhighway, text messaging and instant messaging are huge bores, reports the New York Post .
“Giving up technology was considered by some to be as hard as quitting smoking or drinking,” said the research firm Intersperience about a new study of people deprived of their online habits.
According to the study, a full 53 per cent of 1,000 people surveyed reported feeling ‘upset’ when “deprived of Internet connection.”
The study also found that, 40 per cent of those people “feel lonely when not able to go online.”
Google Plus growth Vs other Social Networks

After these three first weeks google plus growth might be catalogued as “out of the charts”. According to Larry Page, Google company cofounder, there are already 10 million people in Google plus social network! This number was revealed in Google’s quarterly accionists meeting, held yesterday, where Larry Page gave a very interesting opening speech.
On Google+, Technowizard Leon Haland has shared an interesting graph which shows the growth of Google, Facebook and Twitter. Twitter got 10 million users in 780 days (2.13 years), Facebook got 10 million users in 852 days (2.33 years) where as Google Plus gained 10 million users just in 16 days (2 weeks). Google Plus is growing exponentially and becoming popular among users.
The Google Plus growth apparently even overwhelmed engineers and system administrators at Google: last week their Google+ email servers where left with no space in their harddrive to actualize their information. This incident was responsible for thousands of baffled Google Plus users to receive the same emails over and over again (up to ten or twenty times each).
Google+ servers were unable to actualize the “mail sent” signal so they kept resending those emails until the system administrators at google could add more storage space.
Can we compare Google Plus growth with other social networks?
It took facebook about 7 years to reach their current 750 millon users. Twitter, on the other side, actually has about 200 million users, after about three years of life on the internet. We assume that extrapolating 10 million users in three weeks would require an estadist expert, but nonetheless we might excercise some calculations of our own… so here comes our own prediction about Google Plus growth future:
We assume that it will take only a year for Google Plus growth to reach the actual twitter users number. Going a bit further we may propose that it will take not more than 5 years for Google Plus to surpass facebook’s users count.
The only key ingredient for this to happen would be that google will need to keep listening and improving their social network. This is something that twitter and Facebook forgot how to do, as they essentially are the same thing since their inception. Right now we can witness some feeble suprises on “new” features to emerge from facebook, but -just as their chat system- they are not competition to Google+ Hangout multivideo chat features at this time. Google Plus growth is unstoppable !

I think it’s only entertainment, that’s what my brother says. I actually wrestled in school (not on a team). Let me tell you the moves hurt. It’s just fun to watch. We’re so into it that acting has plague wrestling… even the wrestlers have become actors in Hollywood.
