Obessed Twitter Users Check in Day and Night

Retrevo Gadgetology's latest blog post, Is Social Media a New Addiction?, reports some interesting findings from their latest study on how people spend their time on social networks. Some of the highlights of the report:
  • 48% of respondents check/update Facebook or Twitter whenever they wake up during the night or as soon as they wake up
  • 42% check/update Facebook or Twitter first thing in the morning
  • 16% under the age of 25 check Facebook or Twitter as their source for news in the morning
  • 15% over the of 25 check Facebook or Twitter as their source for news in the morning

    I'd believe it. As a 20 something female (gender & demographic most likely to utilize social media on a regular basis) I now rely on twitter almost exclusively for news and current events above all other forms of media. I sometimes know all the major news stories before they even break on mainstream news. It's the first thing I check in the morning and the last thing I read at night. Facebook is for sharing the most relevant stuff with friends and family.
