Birthday Statistics
First of all: Happy new year once again!
My birthday’s already been a few weeks ago and obviously many people send me their congratulations (go figure!). Apart from those who met me face to face, I received the greetings through many different channels. I thought it could be interesting to see which channel is the most popular, so I made the math:
As you can see … Facebook is the most popular channel! I assume this is because Facebook has reminders for birthdays and people are already on the site so they use the same site to send their message. The Facebook channel again breaks down to wall messages, private messages, messages sent through applications and comments on one of my own posts.
E-Cards, E-Mails, IM, SMS and phone calls where all there, as you can see. The most unexpected was the message in XING … and of course the Twitter direct message. 140 characters are enough for everybody, right?!
