Default Facebook more popular than porn

Time has an interesting article here about the surging popularity of social networks.

Here are overall stats (of time spent online):
  1. Search Engines 11.6%
  2. Web based mail 8.5%
  3. Blogs 6.1%
  4. Traditional news sites 1.6%
For 18-24 year olds:
  1. Social Networks
  2. Search Engines
  3. Email
  4. Porn 11.9%
Shocking? Not really.

Yeah but the results they get from porn should be multiplied by ten times cuz it's much harder to admit to it than 'social networking'.

These kind of results are rarely accurate unless you put all survey participants through a lie detector test.

Imagine if everyone would really disclose how much time to spend searching and viewing porn. The number of searches on search engines for porn verses anything else shows that the results are skewed.

Well i am with you Mr David, until and unless there is a strong survey, the results can never be accurate what so ever.

Some people have tried marketing through facebook. Not sure that it works. Probably worth looking into. Problem is the traffic is to specific profiles and not a general platform that everyone can access

What they didn't mention is that the users were using those tools to watch porn on top of going directly to porn sites :P
