Connecting with Social Media

One of the social media sites that we are exploring is Facebook. Did you know…

  • According to a recent Nielsen study the number of seniors using the Web has increased by 6 million in the last five years
  • 17.5 million people 65 and older online as of Nov. 2009
  • Nearly half of online seniors visited Facebook or YouTube in Dec. 2009, making them their third and fourth most visited online destinations
  • In one year, Facebook went from the 45th most popular site with seniors to #3!
