Who Uses Social Media? A Demographic Breakdown

A new study from the Pew Research Center and Docstoc shed some light on just who uses social and on what platforms.

Women use social media 9% more than men do. Despite having more distractions, people living in cities have the most social media activity, at 70% of the population.

And in a strange twist, despite being somewhat economically disadvantaged, 72% of adults with annual household incomes below $30,000 use social networks, more than those with higher wages.

How about most popular social networks? That would be Facebook, with 67% of adults using the Zuckerberg-founded service. A distant second was LinkedIn with 20%, with Twitter coming in third at 16%, and Tumblr falling dead last at 6%.

“The United States, Britain and France are crowing about the fact that the Arab League called for a no-fly zone in Libya. It was a very tepid call, and they quickly withdrew from it, but that was supposed to show that we are following the will of the people. At the very same time, the Arab League called for a no-fly zone in Gaza, but did you see any reaction to that? That tells you how serious the call for humanitarian intervention is. Humanitarian intervention means something that we do, for our own purposes, and you put a humanitarian gloss on it.”
