Survey shows that 'facebook' gets more internet traffic than porn amongs America University students.

On the way home from this morning's worship service I listened to the TWIT podcast (TWIT stands for 'this week in tech'). On the show Leo Laporte reported on a recent survey of the American .edu domain (Universities in the USA have the .edu domain, e.g., Duke.edu).

The results of the survey showed that internet users between the ages of 18-24 used facebook more often than they searched for pornography on the internet.

Here's the top four uses for the internet according to the survey:

4. Internet pornography
3. Web based email
2. Internet search engines
1. Facebook!

Wow! that is incredible... Anyone else out there an avid facebook user? I have gone off facebook a little in recent months... I probably log on once a week to check my messages and delete all those mindless invites to 'save the toenails of east Bolivian cycling peasants' ...
