Facebook trumps other sites by far
In a national survey of 1,520 adults, the center 
found the Internet is connecting Americans more than ever before: 86 percent of Americans are now online.
While there, they show a distinct preference for Facebook of all social media sites. In fact, nearly eight in ten online adults regularly turn to Facebook for entertainment and news. Specifically, the Pew Research Center found that among online adults:
- Seventy-nine (79) percent use Facebook
- Thirty-two (32) percent use Instagram
- Thirty-one (31) percent use Pinterest
- Twenty-nine (29) percent use LinkedIn
- Twenty-four (24) percent use Twitter
No matter which social media site your business is most reliant on, it behooves you to take a closer look at the dynamics of each one.

People ages 65 and up are migrating to Facebook faster than younger adults. Sixty-two percent of these adults use Facebook, a 14 percent increase from last year.
Check out Instagram
Younger adults are the most enthusiastic Instagram users; nearly 60 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 favor it, nearly twice as many as those ages 30 to 49 and nearly seven times as those ages 65 and up. Females of all ages are more likely than males to turn to Instagram.
