In the U.S. alone, total minutes spent on social networking sites has increased 83 percent year-over-year

so the same amount of time online and the social networks are taking up a bigger chunk of it

Interesting, I would have expected an increase.

Interesting read.

In looking at my stats, it more a less mirrors the same thing as the article for time on site(s).

:disgust

perhaps there is a sweet spot for how much time people spend online and one of the reasons for the sales downturn is how much the social networks are soaking up of that

no that i can figure out how to fix or exploit that yet
