The Facebook Obsession

Are we obsessed with Facebook? It’s hard to argue with the numbers presented visually in this artistic little video by Alex Trimpe. One data point that struck me (if true): 48% of young Americans learn about the news, about what’s happening in the world, through Facebook. A big shift in the way information gets into people’s hands.

And that’s part of a trend we’re seeing here too. More and more, Open Culture fans are joining our Facebook page, letting our daily posts trickle into their Facebook News Feeds, then sharing the intelligent media with friends. You can join our Facebook Page here, or also follow us on Twitter where we tweet and re-tweet extra cultural goodies 24/7.

Thanks Ian for the heads up on the FB video…
