If massive sites like Facebook or YouTube have taught us anything over the years, it is that at some point investors will demand a return on their investment. Personally, I can’t stand that site anymore (especially when the ads seem to stream just fine but then the video I want to watch only loads 1/8 of the way in 10min).

I somewhat understand why MySpace might get blocked (28%) but given how many people are using Facebook for business connections, blocking it at almost the same rate is a little bit of a surprise. What somewhat surprised me is how much other sites are being blocked: Twitter 11.5% So, maybe reduce all of the other numbers by that amount.

Apparently your choice of social networking site indicates what social class you belong to. I used to have a MySpace , but abandoned it because FaceBook was easier to use. I subsequently found out that more of my friends were using it than MySpace, so it made social networking easier. Well, fancy that.

Do I need to have any kind of connection with my Facebook 'friends' beyond the fact that we are linked on the site?
