73% of online adults now use
a social networking site of some kind.
Facebook is the dominant social networking platform in the number of
users, but a striking number of users are now diversifying onto other
platforms.
42% of online adults now use multiple social networking sites. In
addition, Instagram users are nearly as likely as Facebook users to check in to
the site on a daily basis. These are among the key findings on social
networking site usage and adoption from a 2013 survey from the Pew
Research Center’s Internet Project.

those 50 and older:

• Facebook is by far the most popular social media site for this age
group.
