Research: Americans Spending A Lot of Time on Social Networks, But Still Not Checking In

A Nielsen report shows that people are spending 23 percent of their time online cruising social networks. Facebook is the most popular networking site by far (140 million+ unique visitors in May, three times the network in the second spot), followed by Blogger, Twitter, then WordPress.

The report also shows that the average visitor is female and between the ages of 18 and 34.

Despite all of this online activity, the public is still a little slow to catch on to location-based services.
