Facebook - why?

Neilsen report 66% in 2013

That's in the US I don't have the UK figure 

Sounds feasible 3 years growth from 66 to 89 especially considering the increase in smartphones 

If I have a Twitter account, Facebook account, and write a Blog (all of which I do) - do I count as 3? What about other forums? Do they count? I also have a "business" Facebook page in development, and a website. Not to mention the weather sites I contribute data to. And no - I'm not a sad old dear with no friends

Possible but I would really need to see the reference source.

A properly conducted survey would only count you once but unless done by a know market research company, who knows?

This kind of research is done by sampling and again accuracy depends upon what questions are asked and the company doing the asking

fair enough but give us a clue as to why. either it's a big number or another big number. either way going back to the op it is not a channel the cc can afford to ignore.

Just done a degree in business management and we studied commerce using social media.

Iam interested in the subject from a marketing point of view.  No doubt some are thinking I am having a pop, wrong. I couldn't care less what others do 

Sounds interesting. And the general conclusion was? (If it was anything like my degree the answer will be - "it depends" but we live in hope.

There is a MIT paper on that on the internet.
