Social Networking more Popular than Porn!?
Techtree News Staff, Sep 18, 2008 0737 hrs ISTWe refuse to believe it
Could you ever imagine pornography websites losing out to a bunch of n00bs like social networking websites?
Bill Tancer seems to think so. Bill is the general manager of global research at Hitwise. He is a "data geek" who analyzes online data and has learnt from his analysis of over 10 million web users that our online habits define us.
The same analysis tells Tancer that young Internet users are increasingly drifting away from watching pornography online, and are getting hooked on to social networking sites instead.
He says that the rate of searches for porn sites has dropped from 20 percent to 10 percent. People are increasing their searches for social networking sites. "My theory is that young users spend so much time on social networks that they don't have time to look at adult sites," states Tancer.
The analysis conducted by him points towards the trend of youngsters in the age group of 18-24 surfing less for porn and more for social networking sites.
