Social networks eat up Americans' online time

A recent survey shows that Americans spend most of their time online with social networking sites, with Facebook grabbing more of their time than any other blog or social media.

"I'm not all that surprised to see that people spend 25% of their online time on social networks," said Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group. "Social networks have become the online focus for many new computer users - particularly older people who might not have extensively used computers in their working lives."

"Social media's popularity continues to grow, connecting people with just about everything they watch and buy," the study noted. "In the U.S., social networks and blogs reach nearly 80% of active U.S. Internet users and represent the majority of Americans' time online."
