Here’s a collection of terrific social media infographics that might come in handy. As you probably know, infographics are visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. They illustrate information that would be unwieldy in text form and they act as a kind of visual shorthand, making information easy to understand and consume. They are driven by the same information as charts, but they’re often a better form of communication because of their pleasant aesthetics — charts and graphs can communicate data, but infographics turn data into information.
It’s very helpful to use infographics in presentations, reports, articles, etc., to convey concepts. Instead of poring over figures and long reports to decipher data, an infographic can immediately explain what the data actually means.
Most of these have been scaled down or cropped. Each one has been linked to the original, so please visit the links to view them full-size.

Great Collection !
Pam, great collection! I love infographics and am extremely jealous of anyone who can design one of these things really well. My favorite is #18, the conversation prism. Amazing how so many relationships can be so clearly illuminated in such a small space.
I'm jealous, too.
I don't have the necessary skills. I like #18, too — heck, I like all of them. Thanks for visiting!

Glad you find these helpful, Jim — thanks for stopping by!
Wow, these are some awesome info graphics, thanks for sharing. I like to have a laugh at those who claim that “social media” will replace the traditional business website, but a few of the stats in those infographics have me biting my tongue at the moment.
You really made the graphics like a PhD thesis.
thank you for sharing!
Some of these I have seen, but some are new to me. #15 is great.
Well this is well done, its useful information especially for third world countries like South Africa.
Very helpful! The charts defining age groups and usage are really an eye-opener!
Kudos…great data mine. I know the time you put into this. Thank U!!

Although a lot of work went into creating these graphics. As a designer and communicator I find them very busy and tedious…Sorry.
Really great stuff! Will come in very handy in my internal sales efforts!
fabulous – ideal for future white papers (fully credited of course!)
Awesome…I'd like to use this to demonstrate the exponential shift in marketing communications since I teach business management. Some times it is difficult to show why access to facebook can be a good thing, especially when I can be just as easily convinced otherwise.
This is excellent! Thank you!
Thanks….very information and comprehensive.
Nice work.

Love the “infographics”!
Here's another one to add to your list. It is a graphic that works well with my clients that don't really know what to aim for when using social media…
