Here are our results…

4. Our findings…
According to the pie chart, the majority of college students prefer Facebook over Myspace, and Myspace over Twitter.
We asked why, and the most popular response was, most of my friends use facebook.

5. Hours a day wasted *ahem* spent on social networking sites…

6. Our findings Part II
On average, we found that most people spend 2-5 hours on facebook, hardly anybody spends any time on twitter, and a handful of people spend less than 1 hour on myspace.
We asked, what could you be doing with your time instead being on these websites, and most students responded, “…studying, laundry, being productive…”

9. Twitter “Tweet Tweet” Twitter was founded in August of 2006
The tipping point for Twitter’s popularity was in 2007 because of the South by Southwest festival. It went from 20,000 to 60,000 tweets a day.
