According to a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, more adults are joining social networking websites and the ratio is quite higher then the teenagers.
The report said that MySpace is a party for teenagers, Facebook is for a hangout for college students, and LinkedIn is a conference for working professionals.
The research group found that some 35% of online adults now have at least one profile on a social networking site, more than quadruple the amount that did in February 2005, when the figure was 8%.
Another surprising finding in Pew’s study is the prevalence of minority groups on social sites. The portion of African-American adults with an online social profile (48%) as well as non-white Hispanics (43%) both eclipse the portion of white adults on the site, just 31%.
