Its that time of the year again and I thought our readers would be curious how the different social networks have progressed over the last 2 years since we started analyzing the various social networks from around the world.

In any case, I have highlighted some of the changes below. Remember all insight is gathered from Google Ad Planner and Google Insights for Search.
