Facing the book

readerMore people are using social networking sites than are using email, according to a new survey.

Social network sites like Facebook and MySpace are more popular than personal email, said the Nielsen survey of users' habits.

It found that 67 per cent of all those going online were spending time at social network and their accompanying blog sites.

Latest statistics suggest 65.1 per cent of web users use web email; but 66.8 per cent log on to social network sites.

The fastest growing segment of users using social sites over the past year was among 35-49 year olds. Almost a quarter of Facebook's users were known to be aged more than 50 years.

And an increasing amount of users want to get their fix on mobile phones, according to the report.
