Comment on 42% of US Internet Users Have a Facebook Account. For Twitter, It’s 16%

What does "Have a Facebook Account" mean in terms of activity? Maybe the question should also have asked about usage ...

I wouldn't have received significant numbers about usage. In surveys you don't want to conflate questions, and these questions are asked independently to different people. It's hard to formulate a question about usage of Facebook for the general internet population and get a significant number of useful responses.

Edit: I learned that the tool lets you ask Screener questions that qualify people to answer subsequent questions. I'll try this with a future survey.

I was wondering the same thing about Twitter.

About half the people I know have Twitter accounts. Of them, only a handful have ever tweeted anything.
