Facebook Use in Winnipeg
Winnipeg – If you know what Farmville is, or if you have ever decided to “unfriend” someone you are not particularly fond of, chances are you’re one out of every two Winnipeg residents (49%) with a profile on the social networking website Facebook.

A Probe Research poll conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press finds that nearly as many Winnipeg residents (49%) have a Facebook profile compared to 50 percent who have resisted signing up for this website (1% did not say if they had a Facebook profile). Not surprisingly, the vast majority of young adults (78% of those aged 18-34 years) have established a presence on this website, but they are joined online by one-half (50%) of those aged 35-54 years. And there’s a good chance their parents – and maybe even their grandparents – are joining this virtual community, as more than one in five adults aged 55 years and over (21%) have signed up for Facebook.
