Editor's Notes
Twitter and Blogs are more used with less frequency (every two weeks, once a month, or every several months): 19% Post on twitter, 26.7% write a blog, and 37.9% comment a blog Twitting and writing blogs are more frequent among older groups like young parents and men.
Youtube is driven by the younger three groups. Msn is driven by youngest group. LinkedIn is mostly used by young parents (daily). Reading twitter is mainly young parents and to some extent young singles. So much of the conversation is now taking place on only 3 platforms. While Twitter is creeping up the ranks it has a noticeably older skew
The number of friends in a network decreases for young singles (largely due to them dropping their post-secondary friends). Numbers increase for young couples, as they incorporate their partner’s network into their own. However, across all life-stages the numbers of close and best friends are approximately the same but the number of family decrease for young singles. School friends decrease over time and work place friends increase.
