Social networking sites becoming more popular among adults
A message to all members of MedTechIQ
Colleagues,
As reported in the Pacific Business News...A new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds more people are embracing social networking, but those Web sites remain most popular among the young.
Roughly three-quarters of U.S. adults go online, and 35 percent of those use social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn, according to the report. Only 8 percent of adult Web users participated in social networking sites four years ago.
Nearly two-thirds of online adolescents (ages 12 to 17) use the sites, and three-quarters of Internet users between 18 and 24 have profiles. Only 7 percent of Internet users who are 65 or older are on the sites.
The median ages of MySpace and Facebook users were 26 and 27, respectively. At the career-focused LinkedIn site, it was 40.
