Social networkers would rather log on to their favorite social networking site (17%) than do just about anything, including watch TV (14%), surf the internet (10%), and play video games (9%), according to the April 2007 study, “Never Ending Friending.” Commissioned by MySpace and others, the study also found that 32% of social networkers ages 14 to 40 have increased their internet usage since joining a social networking site. Both TV watching (16%) and video game playing (20%) decreased as a direct result of social network participation. The survey reports that social networkers tend to sync their “real life” and virtual life social networks throughout the day, with 15% saying they’re regularly on their favorite social networking site first thing in the morning, 16% before work/school, 18% at lunch, 25% at school/work, 31% after work/school, 68% in the evening, and 30% late at night. Social networkers say they use the sites to connect with their regular friends (69%), friends with whom they have lost contact (46%), family members (41%), people from outside their city (31%), and people they know only in the virtual world (27%)"  [reference-link]
