📊Facebook Inc. Dominates the Social Media Landscape When people think of #Facebook as a company, they mostly think of it synonymously with Facebook the social network. However, Facebook Inc. is much more than that, as today’s chart nicely illustrates. With #WhatsApp, #Instagram and of course the namesake Facebook and #FacebookMessenger, the company owns four of the world’s largest social media / messaging services. Facebook alone is used by more than 2 billion people per month and both WhatsApp and Messenger also have surpassed the billion user mark, according to company data aggregated by DataReportal. #Tencent, the Chinese company behind #WeChat, Qzone and messenger QQ also boasts more than two billion users in total, but it still doesn’t come close to matching Facebook’s global footprint. 🦅@PerspectiveIX via Statista.

​​👑Fortnite: King of the Multiplayer Action Hill According to Sensor Tower, in just under seven months since launching as an invite-only beta on March 15, the iOS version of #Fortnite from Epic Games has grossed a total of $300 million worldwide, with about 65% of that coming from players in the United States 🇺🇸. To have some context, Fortnite has grossed about 32% more than Supercell’s Clash Royale launch in March 2016, and more than 200% as much as #Tencent’s smash MOBA Honor of Kings managed on China’s App Store in the same amount of time post-release. As for the fastest game to hit $300 million on #iOS, that was Niantic’s mega-hit #PokemonGO, which achieved this feat in just 113 days. 🚀@PerspectiveIX via SensorTower. ❓Have you played Fortnite during last two weeks?
