Pew Research released a study on the percentage of adults who use Social Networking sites. I saw the story on Mashable and on Read Write Web and I have to say I am confused. Did they study show good or bad news. Take a look:
On Mashable doesn’t sound to good “Only 50%â€
On Read Write Web sounds great “For the first time ever, 50% of all American adults are using social networking sitesâ€
I guess it is all how you look at the data, the glass is either half empty or half full.

It is funny, all of my closest male friends who are NOT in IT do not use Facebook or Twitter. Female is a completely different story.
