The Art of Presentation: Think

In the last four years of my life I’ve been doing different things. University first, then internship, then a real job in the gaming industry, then recently a new one in the web and communication field, after a huge change in perspective… and I actually guess it’s more or less the same for a lot of you.
After a bit of thinking I realized there’s one thing I’ve been doing throughout the entire process and I’m positive I’ll be doing in my future: presenting. Not focusing on any topic in particular, it’s the pure act of putting ideas into slideshows and present them to someone, whether it’s a CEO, a random manager, a client, a partner, a group of collaborators, a supervisor.

This new infographic compiles social data from the Fortune 100 global company index across the four major social platforms in Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Blogs. One of the most interesting statistics to come out of this chart is that 65% of the worlds top 100 companies has a twitter account, now that in its self might not be all that surprising, but in comparison to Facebook (54%), YouTube (50%) and blogs (33%) that’s a serious number considering the length of time that Facebook, YouTube and Blogs have been around comparability to Twitter.
On a percentage scale across all 4 social mediums, it’s interesing to not that only 20% of the worlds top 100 companies are using all four platforms to engage their followers, fans and workers.
