Drawing on IDC's latest primary research on U.S. online consumer behaviors and attitudes, the telebriefing will explore the psychographics of U.S. SNS users - their online attitudes and preferences for SNS, the Web in general, and online advertising - and show how SNS is mixing the personal and professional lives of older users with unexpected implications. The presentation will also discuss the following topics: Demographic profile of U.S. SNS users (gender, age, ethnicity, education, income, etc.)· Behaviors and usage by gender and age and what has changed in the past year (comparison to 2007 SNS survey)· What SNS sites are U.S. consumers using? What other (non-SNS) Web sites are SNS users accessing? Attitudes of SNS users toward SNS (How useful are these services? What features would enhance usefulness?) Attitudes of SNS users toward advertising on SNS (How useful are SNS ads? How often do users click on SNS ads?)
