Do you think that Facebook and Instagram were the first two platforms that attracted the most users faster compared to the rest? And yet neither of them is in the top two positions! Here are the platforms that attracted the most users at the fastest speed!
Amazon
Although it is not a social media platform, it is worth mentioning. Amazon has revealed that more than 100 million activated Alexa units have been sold in the last four years, specifically since the digital voice assistant was released! Some of the devices were sold by Amazon, such as the Echo or the Dot, while others were made by third-party manufacturers. Reaching the number of 100 million is quite enviable and unique! If it took Amazon four years to reach this number of users, we wonder how long it took other equally large companies!
#1 Google+
This particular platform "hit" 100 million users within a year of its founding! No one expected it to be in second place, as in the previous year there were many security errors on its platform and many users' data was exposed! Although it attracted more users more quickly from the beginning, Google decided to deactivate this particular platform in 2019, due to a second leak of personal data!
#2 Instagram
The appeal of this particular platform was obvious from the year of its founding, and within two years it managed to attract 100 million users!
#3 Myspace
Many people are surprised that Myspace is in this position, but it is the platform that attracted 100 million loyal users in three years! The most impressive thing is that this happened in years when people were not very confident with the idea of sharing their personal lives online! Also, let's emphasize that it still exists as a platform and is still being used!
#4 Snapchat
This particular platform was the first to introduce photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours! Snapchat hit the astonishing number of 100 million users within three years. Unfortunately, as the years go by, the numbers are dropping more and more, as most have moved to Instagram, which borrowed the “stories” feature.
#5 Facebook
It took Facebook four and a half years to reach 100 million users! Of course, today it has more than 2 billion active monthly users and it seems they are growing more and more!
#6 Twitter
The truth is, 2018 was a tough year for social media, and Twitter was no exception. The company said it lost 9 million monthly users in the last four months of 2018, largely due to the elimination of bots. However, it is worth noting that in five years it attracted 100 million users!
As you can see, within a decade, there has been a tremendous increase and use of social media platforms! Although at first, people were very hesitant, now parents and children are using them as part of their daily lives!
