Irish Social Media Survey Results

Over the last week we carried out a survey of the Irish public on how they use social media and the results were quite surprising. It is clear that social media is starting to become a large part of people’s lives with more and more people using it in the work place. In fact 90% of people can access sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo at work and a staggering 25% claim to spend more than 2 hours on social sites every single day while at work.  It is not just in the work place that people are using social networks with over 75% of people saying that they now “socialize” online and over 35% of people surveyed saying they had “met somebody romantically or flirted online”. The big winners are also predictably Facebook and Twitter but Irish sites such as Boards.ie and Pix.ie also show up well. Overall the survey gives a good overview of how Irish people use social media and the one thing that stood out for us was just how much time people were spending online.
