Staggering Stats: Social Networking Accounts For 1 Of Every 6 Minutes Spent Online

Mashable reporting on the latest comScore numbers, asserting the average online user in the U.S. now spends nearly 16% of his or her time on social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr or Twitter. That’s up from just 8% in July 2007. In the last year alone, social networking use has increased by approximately 25%.

Nice to see Tumblr in the fastest-growing segment, as more publishers use the lightweight blogging platform to create more content that pulls people into their websites.
