Ofcom Report: Older users surge to social networking

Ofcom’s latest Adults’ Media Use and Attitudes Report finds that older internet users are increasingly turning to social networking to keep in touch with their friends and family. 

Apparently 35% of 55 to 64 year-old internet users now have a social networking profile – up by half in just one year (24% in 2011).

72% of those with a social networking profile claim to visit social networking websites at least daily. Half claim to visit sites more than once a day, with just under one in ten visiting more than ten times a day.

So if you're over 55 and would like to be part of this growing trend why not ask Connect <> Lockleaze to run a 'Social Media' workshop for you?
