Twitter… A “key social networking platform”

23% of adult internet users/19% of entire adult population  Some 23% of online adults currently use Twitter, a statistically significant increase compared with the 18% who did so in August 2013. Twitter is particularly popular among those under 50 and the college-educated. Compared with late 2013, the service has seen significant increases among a number of demographic groups: men, whites, those ages 65 and older, those who live in households with an annual household income of $50,000 or more, college graduates, and urbanites.

Twitter… FAIL!

“The communications director for the Internet giant that owns popular websites like Match.com, Dictionary.com, and Vimeo has been fired over ‘hateful statements’ in a tweet that came from her account.

The controversy erupted while Sacco was reportedly mid-flight with no Internet access.

A trending hashtag #HasJustineLandedYet and parody account @LOLJustineSacco quickly appeared on Twitter. A fake Facebook account under her name was also created, where a post links to www.justinesacco.com, which brings up a donation page for Aid for Africa.”
