Between April 2009 and May, the percentage of internet users 50 and up who said they use social-networking sites has risen from 22 percent to 42 percent, according to the survey by the Pew Research Center. Respondents 65 and older reported a 100 percent increase, while those between 50 and 64 jumped 88 percent. By comparison, the number of users from 18-29 who said they use networking sites rose a much more meager 13 percent. For anyone who logs on to sites such as Facebook and Twitter, the increase in older users is probably pretty obvious. It's not unusual for three generations of one family to chat on Facebook now.
