Top 5 Infographics of the Week: Social Media Demographics

Whether we like to admit it or not, social media has become a huge part of our daily lives. With sayings like, "Find me on Facebook" getting dropped regularly, sometimes we don't even realize how much it is integrated into our personal lives. And with new social media sites being made continuously, we feel as though we need to exist on all of them in order to keep in touch. Wrong, wrong, wrong. We believe that some social media sites are better at some things and worse at others, and finding the right site for you can be a challenge. That is why we were so interested in learning more about social media user demographics and statistics. Check out the top 5 infographics of the week on social media demographics, they have some great statistics.
