4. DATA DEMOGRAPHICS
The data collected showed that we had low sample size for
three of the five user types.
We combined three user types to create three groups:
Info/Spectators
Update Junkies
Others (Cruise/App, Impression, Offline)
Users who participated in the survey were mostly female. And
mostly consisting within the Update Junkie type.
For males, there were an even number of users for each
Facebook type.

From our pilot study, this is what we have found regarding the
Info/Spectators and the Update Junkies
Facebook User Type Findings
Info/Spectators • Less likely to own a large pet and learn about
new music through favorite artist
Update Junkies Less likely to:
• Purchase products from TV
• Watch game shows and infomercials
• Rent movies from grocery store
• Learn about new products through
conventions

14. OTHER PROFILES
The three combined Facebook user types (Cruisers/Application
Users, Impression Managers and Of fline Networkers) had the
highest means for all significant data.
Trends within these three groups is hard to analyze because each are
very different in their needs in Facebook.
Facebook User Type Findings
Others More likely to:
• Be interested in shopping for gadgets and
electronics
• Learn about new products through YouTube,
online commercials, and conventions
• Learn about new music through YouTube and
favorite artist

15. RECOMMENDATIONS
Since our n=54 was so small, we need to conduct another
study with more data to analyze.
We need to gather a more even distribution of the five
Facebook User Types.
Re-evaluate the pilot survey questions and take out questions
that have no ef fect on each Facebook Type
Create a new shorter survey to be able to better understand
how they live and what they purchase and consume.
