Do you use Social Network sites

[katalyzt]

Just doing a little brainstorming here for a potential project and was hoping you guys/gals could answer a few questions for me. I'm just trying to get a feel here for how much time and energy is spent updating and reading all your socail network connections (i.e. facebook, twitter, myspace, etc.)

Ok here's the questions:
1 - Do you use social networking sites and if so which ones?
2 - How much time do you spend updating it/them
3 - How much time do you spend reading it/them
4 - What do you use them for mainly? (connecting, updating status, photos, videos, anything/everything, etc.)

If I could just get some responses to any or all these from at least a few of you that would help me out tremendously. I'm not doing any formal data collection or anything I just feel that a lot of time is spent in social networks, reading and updating and what not, and I was wondering if that was true.

Thanks in advance!

1 - Yes, mainly Facebook. I have a Myspace but rarely check it.
2 - 2-3 times a week maybe? Probably less than an hour/week.
3 - On average, about 30 mins - one hour per day.
4 - Networking, staying in touch with friends, promote website/brand(soon to start).

Here's a previous thread on the topic: http://www.thefastlanetomillions.com/business-building-e-biz-internet/19645-what-s-your-opinion-social-networking-sites.html

I ended up opening a Facebook account and have enjoyed it....have hooked up with a lot of old friends as well as local business people and investors. I don't spend a lot of time on the site and end up "ignoring" people who post useless garbage every hour, but am glad I finally signed up.
