First of all, I recognize that my poll is very unscientific. It's biased by both the questions I chose (those that interested me), the wording I chose, my use of mostly multiple choice, who I sent the poll to, and, of course, those who responded.
I think that the questions that revealed the most about my respondents were the question about how their Facebook use has changed and the final series of questions designed to gauge both their knowledge and use of other social networking sites.
The majority of them are both cautious with what they put on Facebook and know most of their friends there, and while many are aware of other sites like Twitter, MySpace and Windows Live Spaces, few are members of them and virtually none of them are active elsewhere.
