Social Media Gaining Momentum

Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter are popular among teens –no doubts about that!  But, these sites are gaining momentum across generations of Americans. In fact, more internet users are subscribing to sites such as Facebook and Twitter at an alarming rate and taking up more of their internet-time too.  
“Nielson, reports that “social media eats up twice as much of our online time as any other activity. And, according to new stats from Nielsen, sites like Facebook and Twitter now account for 22.7% of time spent on the web; the next closest activity is online games, which make up 10.2%.
 
The stats also show the degree to which social networking is displacing other forms of communication, with e-mail as a percentage of online time plunging from 11.5% to 8.3% from June 2009 to June 2010. Instant messaging also saw a significant drop in share, with a 15% decline from last year.”  Ostrow, Adam.
