Facebook y Twitter, las redes sociales preferidas para consumir y compartir noticias

El 52% de los españoles usa Facebook para compartir noticias, según un reciente estudio de Reuters Institute, una dinámica que va en auge en los últimos tiempos: uno de cada cuatro españoles usa su teléfono inteligente para acceder a la información.

“It was a success in every dimension except the one we thought it would be.”
That’s Daniel Jacobson’s tweet-length summary of his experience, in 2008, opening up a hefty selection of NPR’s vast resources to any software developer anywhere in the world who had a good—or bad—idea for an app that could use it.
