Overall, Nielsen[1] reports that:

• Social networking on sites such as Facebook was a key driver in Australians’ trial and uptake of social media and that
• Close to three quarters of online Australians (73%) have looked at others’ profiles on social networks and well over one third (37%) of these report to be interacting with others via social networking sites on a daily basis
• Australia topped even the U.S. when it came to time spent per person on social networks. [2]

The biggest increases in social media usage were reading and posting on Twitter, reading wikis and engaging with brands and organizations via social media
