Who Are These Social Media Users? (Pew Research)
Pew Research Center took a demographic portrait of users of various social media services. This is what they found:
Twitter:?The percentage of Internet users who are on Twitter has doubled since November 2010, currently standing at 16 percent. Those under 50, and especially those 18-29, are the most likely to use Twitter. Urban dwellers are significantly more likely than both suburban and rural residents to be on Twitter.

Google+ Can Now Do Things Facebook Can't (The Huffington Post)
For months, Google engineers have been hard at work improving Google+. Now Google+ is turning to outside developers for help super-charging its platform with the launch of Google+ Sign-In. It has the makings of a classic win-win. For developers, there's the potential for an app to "take off" when paired with Google+. For users, the more people who are developing for Google+ features and products, the better Google+ will be.

Facebook will wage its war against your phone?s "phone" application on a new front with an update to Messenger For Android that adds VoIP calling for Canadians. It?s also improving group messaging. By combining voice-over-data calling with unified instant, asynchronous, and email messaging, Facebook could dominate communication in the developing world. Here?s why this war is worth it. Facebook?s mission to connect the world breaks down into two channels:
