If people ever decide to take two minutes to stop updating their facebook statuses and stop tweeting/retweeting, they might be interested in knowing a little more about their beloved social networks. Facebook has been found to be the leader of social networking sites and Myspace is in a not so close second; "what that boils down to is that the time spent on Facebook is almost five hours longer than the time spent on Myspace" (Mashable). It seems that it was mostly popular among users as a dating site. Perhaps it is due to the use of it by many of the musicians today, it is back on the map as a networking site - woot, number 2!
Nevertheless, we certainly have been changing with the times. When people use to meet each other, they exchanged cell phone numbers and email addresses, but now all we really hear is, "Hey, are you on facebook? I'll facebook you." Yes, it's that simple. Why wouldn't we spend at least 6 hours per person per month on it? It keeps us connected to everyone, every minute and every second. Not to mention all the applications that have been made available for facebook users with all the many interests. I have several friends who now believe they are capable farmers, courtesy of the farmville application.
I am actually surprised that even the global average per person per month is ONLY 6 hours since there is really so much that Facebook offers. Personally, I sign in to Facebook for at least 2 hours a day on a daily basis and I thought that was below the average! The possibilities for Facebook in the near future seem endless because it is always quick to create what its users want and need. Is it even possible for another social networking site to come in and replace Facebook?
