A look at the new world of marketing and PR

Facebook fun…numbers to make you think!

 

MarketingVox reports some interesting details about facebook’s recent growth.

Maybe the money isn’t in the kids after all…

      • More than half of Facebook users are not currently enrolled in a university or college.
      • The fastest-growing demographic is the 25+ age group.
      • Facebook is the sixth-most trafficked site in the United States.
      • Users spend an average of 20 minutes on the site daily.
      • The site is the No. 1 photo-sharing application on the web.
      • Photo application draws more than twice as much traffic as the next three sites combined.
      • Canada, with more than 3 million active users, has the most users outside of the US.
      • The UK has the third-largest user-base, with more than 2 million active users.
      • Over 1,800 applications have been built on the Facebook Platform.
      • More than 75 percent of Facebook users have used at least one Facebook application.

A natural shift in demographics from a wider user base or a sign of things to come for social networks?

One question - I wonder if the Twitter demographics work the other way around? Older founder members, getting younger…but aren’t the kids using IM?
