Interesting comparison. It would be great to see the absolute figures next to the relative ones. What strikes me most is that Apple is still way up there and even accelerating its growth. It has by far the most revenue out of the top 5 companies. Very impressive indeed.

The above result is from projects from 2002 through 2010. The total number of projects is not given.
For all those social media junkies. Here are some charts and numbers from 2011 about the use of social media around the world.
