The Pew Research Center released a survey on Facebook Tuesday, and it’s causing quite a stir. The reason? It found 61% of Facebook users have at some point “taken a break” from the world’s top social network. Facebook is leaking users! Sound the alarm!
Nah, not really. The closer you look at the study, the less of a big deal this statistic seems. First of all, it’s a fairly small sample size. Pew reached 1,006 adults in the continental U.S. by phone during three days in December. Some 860 of them use the Internet, and 525 use Facebook.
