If from 2007, its really missing the whole explosion of twitter, which is nearly devoid of teens/youth.

What are the percentages? They don’t sum to 100% in either row or column, which are partitioned by age.

I would love to see this updated with data through 2009. Although just anecdotal, most of my thirtysomething friends now have many of their extended family (parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins) on Facebook. I would wager that the “joiners” segment would be quite different today if my experience is a broad trend.

Just what the bell curve in marketing describes:

Earlier Adopters
Mass Market
Laggards

2007, yep, but it still holds well into today. Thanks for point this out.

I it works but a bar chart would do a better job of illustrating the distributions. But anybody can do that right?

Most likely the age grouping come from the data collection side. Just guessing though. I’d have to check Forrester Research to be sure.

Surprised that this is from 2007 (I didn’t catch that earlier), however, the age groupings seem a bit wierd to me – the younger groups are separated by 3-4 years, but for Gen X, it covers 13 years, and for all the others, its 10 year gaps.

Interesting chart nevertheless, and will require some time to mull over . . .

I was wondering how my Gen-X self suddenly became a “Young Boomer”…
