“I decided to put together this little Flash app (which is in constant development) showing how active & dynamic the Social Web, Mobile Industry and Game Business is.” ~Gary Hayes

Here are just three of the many interesting statistics he’s complied on social media:

• Facebook 25 million new members each month Feb 2010 Mashable
• 50 million Tweets per day Feb 2010 - eConsultancy
• YouTube 1Billion watched per day Dec 2009 SMH
