Guess Who's Coming to Facebook

From today's WOMMA Word:

You may not have predicted it years ago, you may not even like it, but there's a growing chance that your grandparents are now on Facebook too.

New data from Pew/Internet shows that over one-third of adults have an online social networking profile, an increase of 400 percent since 2005.

  • 75% of online adults 18-24 have a profile on a social network site

  • 57% of online adults 25-34 have a profile on a social network site

  • 30% of online adults 35-44 have a profile on a social network site

  • 19% of online adults 45-54 have a profile on a social network site

  • 10% of online adults 55-64 have a profile on a social network site

  • 7% of online adults 65+ have a profile on a social network site

The entire study can be downloaded for free, and can be grabbed at MGH Word of Mouth's site which is linked below.

"I got a WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Talk about the power of word-of-mouth marketing. Apparently American children have come to believe life is simply not worth without a Nintendo Wii. I actually contributed to this phenomenon by giving my nephew one for his Bar Mitzvah. I thought I was giving him yet another dumb gaming system; little did I know that it is nirvana in a box.

Here are 50 kids losing their bloody minds after receiving a Wii for Christmas. I can't help but feel sorry for the poor souls who didn't get one this year because their poor parents just couldn't afford it.
