Having to accommodate over millions of online patrons worldwide every single day, a report shows that social networking has become the second top surfer’s target since 2008, topping email that used to take the second spot right after the unbeatable search engines. As for the numbers (as provided by Nielsen Wire in their report), 67% of internet users go online for websites like Facebook and MySpace while 65.1% of that population use email.
Part of that report also indicated that for every fifteen minutes of browsing, most of us actually spend one minute crawling around Facebook or MySpace or some similar social networking site.
And it’s not just for kids, because even adults are making use of social networking sites nowadays. This widened scope of audience is probably one of the factors that boosted the rank of social networking in the report.
Lastly, this report simply goes to show that we spend more time on Facebook than we do checking our emails. That can say a lot about the present online surfing population.
