Adult Social Network Users Quadruples Over Four Years
A new study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that the number of adult American social network users has quadrupled from 8% in 2005 to 35% today. Although this number is not as impressive as the 65% of online teens who are social networkers, it actually represents a larger segment of the US population. Here are some of the reports’ findings:
- 75% of online adults 18-24 have a profile on a social network site
- 57% of online adults 25-34 have a profile on a social network
- 19% of online 45 to 54 year olds have a profile
- 10% of online 55 to 64 year olds have a profile
- 7% of online adults 65 and older have a profile
