Most of the Americans on Facebook

There are more statistics that lend to the belief that Facebook is predominant social media platform. A recent study reported most of the Americans are using the popular site, and in fact, if you are between the ages of 12 to 50 you are in the minority of 4% only if you consider you as a user of Facebook.


According to research by Edison, 51% of Americans overall have a profile on Facebook, and which is 8% three years ago. The study was commissioned by the Bank of America, because they wanted to know how people use social media Web site, and they found that 96% of the population in the USA under the age of 50 years were now use.


Although there have been other studies say use is indeed declining among adolescents who have changed their focus to other Web sites, this research has some interesting statistics on the use of Facebook and other relevant issues such as privacy. For example, the study indicates that 82% of Facebook users are concerned by their private lives and 40% of respondents to the verification of the investigation on Facebook several times a day to obtain updated information on the information that they feel is important to them.


Another report interesting in the Toronto Star talks about bloggers how lucky are hitting big and getting sign with some of the largest mainstream publications. While blogging is still regarded as the field of freedom of expression and the occasional advertising of the dollar on the net, it becomes more and more common place for these writers to sign with traditional publications such as the Atlantic monthly and even the Reuters newswire. Of course, many people in the world of blogs say there is a disadvantage of this trend and the fact the Huffington Post recently get rid of all their freelance bloggers and writers to hire permanent staff.


Overall, this is a good blow to the bloggers who themselves get a decent income by moving to dedicated slots but also more support and the identification information and exposure that come to be associated with one of the great names of the Edition. There are still people who predict the end of independent blogs when they see the development of this trend, but it is difficult to imagine that more than 200 million blogs that are published will be suddenly disappear or be engulfed by the interests of business such as the Internet is moving towards being a more viable and walled institution.


The ultimate goal has always been a wider audience of knowledgeable people and which should continue if bloggers find themselves going mainstream or not. Some are suggesting the cream if student always upward in the blogging world is no different from the axiom even applied to other sectors of business and the arts.
