You already know that Facebook is the most popular social networking site in the U.S.
However, a closer look at how users actually engage with the site has produced some surprising results.
Researchers with the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project conducted a national phone survey of Facebook users and just released a report on the findings.
Here are the most interesting results:
1>20 to 30 percent of very active Facebook users called "power users" are responsible for a lot of the friend requests, tags, posts, and messages we all recieve
2>Women do more status updates than men
3>People love to use the like button -- it is one of the most popular activities on Facebook
4>It is more common to be "liked" than to like others
5>On average, Facebook users receive more messages than they send
6>Users comment on their friends' pages more often than they update their status
7>People are more likely to be tagged in photos than they are to tag others in photos
8>Facebook users average 7 new friends a month -- men are more likely to send a friend request, women are more likely to recieve one
9>Few people unsubscribe from their friends' news feeds
10>Your friends on Facebook have more friends than you do, and they probably don't know each other
11>Facebook users can reach an average of 150,000 other people through their friends
12>Active Facebook users are also more likely to participate in political activism
13>Active Facebook group members are more likely to try to persuade someone to vote for a specific candidate
14>Almost no one uses the poke button
15>The more friends a user has, the more they do on Facebook
16>There is no evidence of Facebook fatigue, even amongst Facebook veterans
17>More educated users have a more diverse group of Facebook friends
If you tag your friends in photos, you probably have close ties and friendships with others.
