Survey shows many users suffering from "Facebook fatigue".
A new survey
conducted of Facebook users has revealed that a significant percentage
of current users are planning to spend less time on the website. 27
percent of current Facebook users (38 percent of whom belong to the age
group of 18-29 years), stated that they would reduce the time spent on
Facebook. The survey also revealed that 61% of Facebook users have taken
a voluntary break from the site for more than a couple of weeks.
However, 72 percent of users don't plan to change their Facebook usage
patterns.
The survey conducted by the Pew Research Centre mainly considered American Facebook
users and reached the conclusion that many users were undergoing a
sense of “Facebook fatigue". The San Francisco Chronicle quotes Lee
Rainie, Pew Internet Project director and a co-author of the new report,
"These data show that people are trying to make new calibrations in
their life to accommodate new social tools.”
India currently stands in third place in terms of Facebook users with over six crore users who form nearly 70 percent of Indians who use the Internet.
