Face the Music: More than half of U.S. adults use Facebook, study says
More than half of US adults use Facebook: study
AFP News – Sat, Mar 26, 2011 4:58 AM More than half of US adults use online social networking service Facebook, according to an upcoming study. A report by Edison Research and Arbitron Inc. to be released on April 5 includes the finding that 51 percent of US residents age 12 or older have profiles set up at Facebook. Facebook terms of service require people to be at least 13 years old to be members of the online community, which boasts more than a half-billion users. "We have been tracking the growth of Facebook since 2008, and have watched it go from eight percent usage just three years ago, to 51 percent today," New Jersey-based Edison said in a release. The market tracking firms based the findings on a January survey of 2,020 people. Study findings presented in a webcast will include the popularity of accessing social networks using mobile phones, according to Edison. |

how much you want to make a bet that plenty of social gathering outings will soon be out of business due to facebook and other social network websites. Communication will be done through text and email. I give it 10yrs and we'll have a whole new society.

What exactly is the purpose of facebook? If I wanted to advertise my particulars I would do it on my own.

Proud to be part of the minority.
At my age (29), it's probably a MUCH more extreme minority. I'm the only person in most of my law school classes that DOESN'T lug a laptop around and takes notes by hand. I'm also pretty sure I am the ONLY one without one of these dumb facebook accounts. |
