Facebook & chums beat porn in the UK
Posted: January 26th, 2009 | Author: will | Filed under: Media | Tags: facebook, porn, social networks | Comments OffOld news, as apparently the BBC covered this last week, but still it’s worth mentioning as it’s gone against a trend that I have grown up with: the most popular stuff on the internet is porn.
Hitwise reported something that in the UK social networking websites are now more popular than adult sites. It adds this happened in the US mid-2007 but since then there hasnn’t been a clear and outright leader.
It’s quite interesting to see that as we start to embrace the internet as a daily part of our lives, rather than a source of.. ahem.. entertainment or something we use at work, how the online norms I’ve lived with in the past 15 years are now being challenged.
