Yesterday's Times reports that
British internet users spent an average of 5.8 hours a month - about a 11 minutes a day - on such sites, in comparison with their nearest rivals the Germans, who spent 3.1 hours a month (6 minutes a day), according to research.
The French, Spanish, and Italians all spend less than four minutes a day making 'friend requests' and 'poking' one another - the social networking equivalent of saying hello, the figures, from comScore, suggest.
More than three in four regular internet users in Britain - just under 25 million people - are now a member of a social networking site, and make an average of 23.3 visits to their 'profile page' a month.
Two questions.
1.Why are people so hooked on this phenonoma?-What has happened to old fashioned social interaction such as ......conversation
2.Why are we Brits even more hooked on it than the continentals?
