Some infographics are long for the sake of being long. They take up way too much space to make very few points or to present data in ways that simply don't make sense from an graphic perspective. Then, there are those infographics that are long for a valid reason. This is one of those.
Social media is ever changing. In many ways, this is a good thing. Innovations come through change and the major social networks are all much better than they were just a couple of years ago. Other changes are annoying, especially for businesses that rely on their social media presence as a venue to drive engagement, communication, and branding. Having the appropriate matching of the brand look and feel is important. Unfortunately, just when you have the right graphics in the right places, they go and make changes to the size and location of these graphics.
It's a drag. Thankfully, this infographic from Tent Social is up to date... as of right now. There's no telling when Facebook will decide to make their cover images larger or when LinkedIn will change the dimensions of its logo space, but for now, here's a good reference for everything from image sizes to post lengths.
