Nielsen knows what you spend your time doing and it involves a lot of tweeting and Facebooking. New data from the media research firm reveals that the average social-networking user spent five and a half hours on sites like Facebook and Twitter in December 2009. That marks an 82 percent increase in monthly usage from December 2008.

Other Nielsen data tidbits include:

  • Facebook is the most popular social networking site, nabbing 67 percent of social networking users worldwide.
  • Australians spend the most time on social networking sites, averaging seven hours per month.
  • Twitter is the fastest growing social networking site, boasting a 579 percent jump in unique users.

Usage may be up, but SPAM has increased dramatically as well. It's getting more and more difficult to tune out the noise these days.

Canada is just North of the USA, sometimes referred to as "The Great White North" We're hosting the winter olympics right now too. Nice people, great beer, awesome hockey players... :)
I was wondering the same thing! Where does Canada stack up for usage? I'd love to see if its much different seasonally as well.
