Social Networking - at a glance reality



As part of Periscope Market Evolution's ongoing monitor of peoples' digital lifestyles we have just completed a look into social networking. It's surfaced up some quite interesting data.

The highlights from the UK online survey are as follows:

  • 34% of the sample currently use social networking sites which is lower than we expected
  • that said 25% of these are new so its growing fast
  • MySpace is the most popular site and but Facebook is the site growing fastest which is inline with the incredible hype its been getting.
  • average duration of time spent on site is 28 minutes which is 'sticky'
  • 15% visit every day which is 'sticky'
  • average number of profiles per user is 2.4 which makes users alittle fickle
  • looks like its an activity that is reserved for home with 96% logging on from home.
  • only 1% access through their mobiles!
  • most popular uses are just passing time, chatting with friends, looking at photos, and getting in touch with old friends so no real surprises there.
