Facebook: More popular then porn
By arzhou | November 5, 2007
Yesterday there was quite a bit of discussion on facebook and social networking on the ping.sg shoutbox. I was actually quite surprised to find this particular article in the Times Magazine Online – “Facebook: More popular then porn”
It really makes you wonder how huge an impact social networks have on not only our online behavior, but our offline as well. Think about that…
Here are some excerpts from the article.
“Perhaps a more interesting — and more accurate — way to figure out where college students are going online is to assess which of the 172 web categories tracked by Hitwise get the most hits from 18- to 24-year-olds. Here’s a shocker: Porn is not No. 1.”
“If you chart the rate of visits to social-networking sites against those to adult sites over the last two years, there appears to be a strong negative correlation (i.e., visits to social networks go up as visits to adult sites go down). It’s a leap to say there’s a real correlation there, but if there is one, then I’d bet it has everything to do with Gen Y’s changing habits: they’re too busy chatting with friends to look at online skin.”
