According to Nielsen, “member communities” (social networking and blogging) are now the fourth most popular Internet activity, even surpassing personal email. Also, time spent on social networking and blogging sites has grown by three times the rate of the rest of the Internet. In terms of time spent, between December 2007 and December 2008, Facebook saw a massive increase of 566 percent.
In 2008-2009 the use of social media by people aged 35 to 54 grew 60 percent. People over the age of 35 are the fastest growing group using Facebook.
Between February 2008 and February 2009, Facebook’s users increased 228 percent, from 20.04 million to 65.7 million.
