30% of Americans Get News From Facebook According To Pew Research Poll

Posted by samzenpus on from the don't-like-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a recent Pew Research poll a third of Americans get their news while they 'like' things. 'All in all, then, it may be the very incidental nature of the site that ultimately exposes more people to news there,' Pew said. 'Indeed, the more time one spends on the site, the more likely they are to get news there.'"

    It's amazing how I can see someone that I connected with on Facebook in real life and have a vague notion of what they are up to. It makes me feel connected.

    For the last time, she dumped you in high school. You're no longer "connected".
