Profile of Social Gamers

Amplify’d from www.emarketer.com

If you aren’t one of the 24% of US and UK Internet users playing social games at least weekly, you may have seen the traces of those players and their FarmVille or Scrabble exploits in your Facebook newsfeed. PopCap Games, maker of several popular titles, explored the demographics of the group in its “2010 Social Gaming Research” report.

More than one-half of players are female, and the average US player is 48 years old. Relatively few US weekly gamers are under 30, while nearly one-half are over 50.

The overwhelming winner in terms of shopper presence was Facebook, with more than one-half of respondents using it regularly. YouTube took the second spot, with former giant MySpace far behind its rival. Only about one in 10 online shoppers surveyed used Twitter.

Twitter Gets Younger in 2009
As Twitter’s audience grew in 2009, the site experienced interesting shifts in its demographic composition. All demographic segments achieved substantial gains in visitors, but certain segments grew more rapidly than others to gain in terms of their share of audience. The initial success of Twitter was largely driven by users in the 25-54 year old age segment, which made up 65% of all visitors to the site in December 2008, with 18-24 year olds accounting for just 9% of visitors.

Google to Compete with Twitter

Does Google have a chance?

Amplify’d from www.webpronews.com
The feature is said to allow Gmail users to view a stream of status updates from their contacts. Currently, Gmail users already have the ability to set a status update, but once it is changed, the old one goes away. It’s not an ongoing timeline like Facebook or Twitter.
