Im suprised the figures arent higher? I bet if you used it as a percentage of all users with internet access, rather than all americans it would be quite a bit higher. I think that 3D worlds like the Xbox Live Avatar system will be the next big “social” networking.
this is seriously a great way to keep in touch
Thanks a lot for your article and precious advices.
Personally, I find a phone or going and speaking to somebody is the best way of keeping in touch with someone. I really dont understand all these “social” sites.
Well now a days we should uses such devices it can really bring a great oppertunity for everybody.
Twitter is now 5 years old. As a social networking site with a limit 140 characters for every tweet, they have surpassed all the ridicule of many. Does the Marist Poll include data from Twitter?
