The Impact of Social Media

Another interesting find in the study showed that iPhone users were very active on social sites throughout all hours of the day. This is possibly down to the ease of use of the applications on the iPhone – but ultimately whatever the likelihood of this is, users of iPhones certainly use social media sites a lot. It will be interesting to see how social media develops in the coming months, and to round things off here are some other stats from the study to take a look at:

We all know that there has been a surge of interest recently in social media websites. Whether you connect to your friends through Facebook or make business connections through Twitter and LinkedIn, there are many reasons why people have utilised these websites to their advantage. In a recent independent study there were some interesting stats about how people use social media sites. The study by Retrevo Gadgetology asked 1,000 users when, where and what they used social media sites for.

• 56% of social media site users check or update Facebook at least once a day.
• 12% of social media site users check Facebook every couple of hours!
• 32% of respondents said that using these sites was not off-limits while eating a meal!
• Finally, and most ridiculously – 7% of respondents said they would check out a message during an intimate moment!

Looking at the figures, they show that 16% of those in the study aged under-25 and 15% aged over-25 use social media sites for morning news updates. Seeing this trend continue could seriously affect the morning news delivered as we know it today.
