I just love infographics! With one look, you can see what is going on and get a better picture about statistics. Here is a collection of social media stats that is really interesting:

Here is a bit of interesting social media data from Flowtown (http://www.flowtown.com/blog/older-people-flocking-to-social-networks):
The average age of a social networking site user is 37. Do you remember the time when social networking was just something teenagers did? Well, it is not like that anymore. More and more people have seen the benefits of social networking.
Surprisingly, 61% of Facebook users are over 35 years old. The average Facebook user is 38 years old. In Twitter it is even more: 64% of Twitter users are over 35 years old, with an average age of 39.
