Zogby Tells Facebook Truths
People kind of turned Facebook into a dating site in a way. Facebook has become a primary means of finding and expressing romance for millions of Americans. Nearly one-half of this nation's adults on Facebook use it to tell the world they are in a relationship with someone. Nearly three-fourths of all Facebook users who are not in a relationship log on to learn about people they want to date.
Other results from this Zogby Interactive poll on romance and new technology, found 43% of all adults and 60% of those ages 18-29 have told someone they love them through a text message. Thats insane! Only 2% of all adults and 5% of those 18-29 have broken off a relationship via text message.
People are much less public about using Twitter to talk about their relationships, as 7% of all adults who subscribe to Twitter have tweeted something romantic that involves them or their partners.
According to Facebook, about 30% of its 500 million active users worldwide (approximately 150 million) live in the U.S. Facebook does not provide an age breakdown of its users.
All this information was found out thanks to Zogby Interactive polls.
