Social media is becoming as ubiquitous an online experience as Google. And true to form, the Pew Internet and American Life Project, tweeted the results of its new survey on social media use:

per twitter

According to Pew, “Internet users who already use social network sites such as MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn are also likely to use Twitter (35%), compared with just 6% of internet users who do not use such social network sites.

Statistical analysis of the Pew Internet Project’s September 2009 survey data shows that internet users who use social network sites are more likely to use Twitter or another status updating service, independent of other factors such as that group’s relative youth or propensity to go online via mobile devices.”
