A few weeks ago, JESS3 presented The Geosocial Universe 3.0. They also created three additional snackables — think of them as moons in the orbit of the full infographic. Still waiting release of the third graphic, I've included the first two here: The Integrated Giants and Everyone's a Critic:
For this graphic, we used a survey from Pingdom, an uptime monitoring service, to visualize how many of the top 10,000 websites are integrated with major social platforms.
The world of technology is rapidly advancing, and it's really like every day brings a new game, new app, program, a new piece of hardware or at least some kind of an update. In that kind of a hectic and constantly expanding universe, the small planet of visual aids is not an exception. Someone might 3D Infographics – A Few Examples Read More ». 'With Outposts, I can develop applications, deploy them on the same infrastructure on-prem that's in the cloud, and manage them with the same tools.
Just about half of all the sites are connected to Facebook, either through buttons or links, and Twitter follows close behind. Google+ appears on over a fifth of homepages, and while LinkedIn only shows up 3.9% of the time, that's still 390 top websites that make it a part of their online presence.

Yelp, which boasts a purpose of helping 'connect people with great local businesses,' contains 36 million reviews. In January 2013 alone, the site had 100 million unique viewers and nearly 500,000 thousand new business reviews posted. Here's the breakdown of the reviews based on January's numbers:
- 23% shopping
- 21% restaurants
- 11% home and local services
- 9% beauty and fitness
- 7% arts, entertainment and events
- 6% health
- 4% auto
- 4% nightlife
- 4% travel and hotel
- 11% other
While listening to 51 million opinions might seem noisy, they collectively make an impact. Higher ratings raise customer flow and affect the bottom line: businesses whose overall Yelp ratings improve by one star can expect between a 5 and 9% boost in revenue.

In recent years, publications have touted the importance of maintaining professional criticism — after all, the authors' and their colleagues' jobs are on the line — but with the use of geosocial networks like Yelp and OpenTable, we all have the means to be critics. And why not? Everyone eats (and shops and gets haircuts and…).
