Social Networking: Everyone’s Doing It!

These days, the buzz is all about social media. Much to the surprise of younger users, sites like Facebook and Twitter, have nearly exploded with new users in the +40 age group. A recent article on Mashable shared a study of various age groups and their activity online. What did the study show? Facebook users are getting older. Most of the users (20.3 million, or 28.2% overall) on the site belong to the 35 – 54 age group. Younger groups, which made up Facebook’s primary demographic for a long time, no longer dominate.

What has bee your social media experience? When did you join sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn?
