Social networking

Thanks to Gerry McKiernan for alerting me to a report published in April by Forrester research which they did for MySpace. It was a market research survey carried out in the USA and asked about types of media/entertainment/communication devices used, how people felt about MySpace in particular. It being commissioned by MySpace you don't find out what people think specifically e.g. of Facebook ;-) The research included asking people to do collages representing their feelings about life with/without MySpace and asking them about brands (some people want companies like Nike to be their Friends .... hmm)
