Social Networking Trends: Between Lurkers and Blabbers Are Likers

You don't have to make your own content to participate in social networks anymore. While it might seem that Facebook users can't stop blabbing about themselves, instead it's much more common to "Like" and comment on someone else's posts than to post your own, according to a phone survey of about 2,000 Americans by the Pew Internet & American Life that was released this week (and included much other interesting stuff). Twenty-six percent of Pew respondents said they "Like" content on an average day, 22 percent comment on other users' posts and statuses, and 20 percent comment on other users' photos. The most popular activity — clicking the "Like" button to give positive feedback — is even more popular among young users. Forty-four percent of Facebook users between 18 and 22 years old said they Like friends' content on a daily basis. (So much positivity!)..
