Calgary, AB - A new study from Ipsos Reid shows a dramatic increase in the number of online Canadians who have a profile on an online social network. In 18 months the percentage with a profile has increased from 39% to 56%. These are some of the findings from “Social Networking: 2009”, a new study conducted and released by Ipsos Reid. Study author Mark Laver notes, “Social networks get a lot of press and rightfully so, they are becoming the communications tool of the 21st century. The increasing concentrations of people at these types of websites make them very attractive to online marketers and businesses.”
