This info-graphic displays that people aged 0-17 and 35-44 in 2008 are more likely to use social media on sites like Bebo, Myspace and FriendFeed. However, since it's 2013 times have changed and on top of table is Twitter and Facebook which appeals more to 16-24 year olds.
MySpace was the most visited social network site in 2005-2008 but it got overtaken by Facebook in April 2008.
