Love LinkedIn? You probably like soap operas. Facebook? You might be forgettable. Twitter? You might like a three-way. MySpace? You might be a fat ass.
At least that's the gist of a new study from Anderson Analytics, according to AD AGE. Apparent, research on users of popular social networking sites reveal some personal attributes:
FACEBOOK: The site might just be boresville, mainly because it has the most users, which can skew things to the average. Facebookers are more likely to be married (40%), white (80%), and a bit older.
LINKEDIN: Mostly guys, mostly business, mostly affluent. The surprising twist: a penchant for gambling and, of all things, soap operas.
MYSPACE: Young, fun, less affluent, single, and a little more sedentary than users of the other socnets.
TWITTER: Super users to tend to use the service to promote their blogs or businesses. Particularly interested in news, restaurants, sports, politics, finance, religion, movies, you name it. But not particularly into the site - 43% say they could do with out Twitter. Apparently more likely to be interested in sex than the average Facebook, MYSpace or LinkedIn users. Which may just mean they're young and single.
You can read all about it here. That is, before you switch social networks because you don't like what you learn. Can a study on those who use more than one socnet be far behind?
