So today is social networking site ‘twitter’s 7th birthday. Are people getting too engrossed in these internet websites? We are going to find out…….

In January 2013, Facebook had around One Billion active users. This is around 14% of the world’s population meaning social Networking sites like these are starting to take over the world!

At the start of this year, Twitter had 100 million users who would login at least once a month. This is 1/8th of the size of opponent Facebook.

So many people have a Twitter and/or a Facebook account and more so because children who are under the age limit do have an account of some sort somewhere. The minimum age for a Facebook page is 14 and for twitter it is 13. The reason for this is that it is dangerous. Kids could meet anyone online who are very clever and extremely sneaky. These rules are put in place for their safety they are not there to be ignored.
