The share of adult internet users in the USA that have a profile on any of the social networking sites has more than quadrupled during the last four years. The numbers have risen from 8 percent in February 2005 to roughly a third (35 percent) of the users by December 2008. All according to results from the tracking survey by Pew Internet & American Life Project in December 2008.
It’s still the younger generation that dominates the social networks. In the age group 18-24 years it’s a staggering number of 75 percent stating that they have at least one profile on any of the social networking sites. Amongst those over 65 years the number adds up to only 7 percent.
The usage of social networks during an average day is also rising. Almost a fifth (19 percent) of all internet users say they visited a social network the day before, which should be compared to only 2 percent in February 2005.
