你知道美国每天有多少人泡在Facebook, Twitter, Instagram等等这些社交网站上面嘛？如今70%的美国人都在使用社交网站，而这其中70%的美国人每天都会查看他们的Facebook。有趣的是，过去因为种族，教育，居住地这些因素而造成Facebook使用的较大差异如今已荡然无存。社交网络与用户之间的关系，想必日渐亲密。
In a decade, social networking has gone from the part-time habit of college kids to a staple of modern life. Pew is out with fresh new statistics on just how many Americans compulsively checkthe top sites, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
About 70 percent of Americans use social networking sites. Of those, about 70 percent check Facebook daily.
In the top graph, I did someback-of-the-napkin calculations and redid Pew’s numbers based on the total U.S. population. A little less than half (41 percent) of Americans check Facebook daily. About 7 percent check Twitter daily.
Interestingly enough, there used to be a big difference in Facebook use among different races, living area, and education. Now, it’s almost all the same. About 70 percent across all the major demographics use Facebook.
In fact, the race, education, and income gaps have virtually disappeared in most major network sites — this is a nice win for social equity.
