Since 2005, this proportion began to explode. At that time, about 8 percent of U.S. adult Internet users, which is 5% of U.S. adults, use social networking.

According to the comprehensive gender data, the youngest users are still among the most active social network users. In the group between the ages of 18 to 29 years old, 83% of U.S. Internet users use social networking sites. In the age group above 65 years old, the proportion is just 33%. However, the analyst found that among the United States Internet users in the age group between 50 and 64 years old, the daily users of the social network grows the fastest. The ratio has increased from the 20 percent of last year to 32%.

Overall, about 43 percent of U.S. adult Internet users visit social networks every day. The rates of last year and 2008 were 38% and 13% respectively. The analysts of the industry only the ratios of Internet e-mail and search activity are higher than this proportion. The two ratios were 61% and 59% respectively.
