No "Facebook fatigue" for longtime users: survey – Yahoo! News

Another Pew summary

A survey released on Friday shows that people who have used the social networking site over a long period – since its founding in 2004, say – show no sign that they are tired of posting pictures, updating weekend plans or just relaying random thoughts.

Pew Report: On Facebook, We Get More Love Than We Give – Liz Gannes – Social – AllThingsD

See the source article and/or Pew report for more stats and analysis

We receive significantly more likes, messages, tags and friend requests from our Facebook friends than we send out ourselves, according to a new Pew Internet report.

In one month, Pew study participants liked other people’s Facebook content an average of 14 times, and had their own Facebook content liked 20 times.

We communicate with four, but consume from many more. » THINK OUTSIDE IN

Social networking insights from Paul Adams; his book Grouped is high on my current recommended-reading list

When telling this story, I usually gloss over an important related fact. Although the average Facebook user is only communicating directly with four of their 130 friends in any given week, they are consuming content from a much larger number of those people. After all, over 50% of active Facebook users come back every day. If you include consuming updates from people as communication, then people are interacting with many more than four, but much of the communication is asymmetrical in nature. I may not communicate directly with you, but I do keep up with what’s going on in your life.
