  In a recent study by Anderson Analytics, the demographics and psychographics of social networking users on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn were revealed. The ultimate goal was to provide marketers with information about users' interests and buying habits as related to their network of choice. The end result is a detailed look at the profiles and habits of social networking users on the web today. Here we'll delve into the details about the specific networks studied.

  • The findings of this study have confirmed in some cases what we already knew about the different demographics of these networks. However, they're still helpful since the more sources that confirm the same demographics, the more likely they are to be accurate.

      I wish I could teach my students (and some teachers) to understand this new principle of information: a scientific study is no longer trustworthy by itself. It must be confirmed by several sources to gain trust. A stand-alone study is just something to consider, but not something to hang your hat on.
      
      But that is exactly what makes navigating our world's information landscape so difficult. It takes real work to find any information that we can believe.
