Social Media Habits of Canadians

How are Canadians connecting over the Internet? A recent online survey demonstrates that social media has infiltrated nearly every corner of Canadian life, and people who create social media content are not the same as those who follow it. Highlights:

  • Canadians who connect with family members through social media come in all lifestyles

  • Social media producers are very different from social media followers

  • Residents of the nation’s largest and most diverse cities are most likely to produce social media content

  • If you’re a recent immigrant, there’s a good chance you’re into blogging about your experience

  • Tweets are not for everyone

  • Young and hip Canadians make the world go viral

  • If you’re updating your status while reading this, you’re probably a young city dweller

  • Social media can’t replace the real thing

  • Even among the elite, some Canadians just aren’t into social media http://www.delvinia.com/new-database-reveals-social-media-habits-of-canadians/
