2011 The Year of International Social Media

Over the past 10 years, English internet content grew only 281%, while Chinese internet content grew by 1,277%. Social media is one of the most significant factors contributing to content growth in all languages.

Global marketing and global social media will further increase the growth of online business, making 2011 a very successful year, with greater potential for increased revenues compared to previous years. I see rapid change in the global online scene and an exponential growth for online business opportunities, due to the dramatic expansion of internet usage in non English-speaking markets. The high growth rate of non-English internet content and usage is dramatically evident in a table displayed further down in this blog, under "The Internet languages in 2011."
