When asked about social network usage, however, 99 percent of this same group reports having an active profile on at least one social networking site.The key results of the survey are:
- The most common activities in this group of twitter users are
- 85 percent follow friends
- 54 percent follow celebrities
- 29 percent follow family
- 29 percent follow companies

- Online social networks are hot

- 89 percent have downloaded an application to their profile page
- Photos (89 percent), games (53 percent), entertainment
