Editor's Notes
Social networking is the term applied to sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Tumblr, etc which allow people to share information with other people, but tends to do this by organizing people in groups. Social media is a broader term which encompasses social networking sites, but also sites like Flickr, Twitpic, YouTube, etc. which allow people to share information with large audiences, but doesn’t rely so heavily on the ‘group’ component. Social media is more difficult to control, because there’s no vetting of the audience members (in Facebook, you have to accept someone as a friend before they can see your info; on YouTube, strangers can browse your videos unless you specifically set them to ‘private’).
The good news is that it does get better – we’re going to show you how to get to the smiling happy acceptance woman – notice how powerful she is?
While data is often only available for the US, a good rule of thumb is to figure that 10-15% of the US numbers will give you the numbers for Canada. It’s important to note that on a per-capita basis, more Canadians have access to high-speed and other internet services: roughly 25% for US but as high as 35% for Canada. Our kids are generally more web-savvy than US kids.
