According to Mary Madden, Senior Research Specialist and author of the PEW report, ““Young adults continue to be the heaviest users of social media, but their growth pales in comparison with recent gains made by older users.”

To further support the fact older users have arrived, Pingdom reports that 57% of social network users were 35 or above!
