I don't know anyone who isn't on Facebook. Maybe 25% of my friends are on G+. From launch day to now, maybe 1/4 of those are still active on G+. That means less than 10% of my friends actively use G+. Twitter is even higher than Facebook for me. Everybody I know tweets at least a little.

I would like to say hello. I joined Facebook when it was only available to college students. After awhile I realized that Facebook just isn't what I want to belong to. I deleted my profile because I would rather not be bothered by people I used to know from high school or college that I don't even care to be in touch with. Plus, most of the times people just add you and then nothing. Hey, I used to know this person.. I think I'll add them as friends. Also, you have the resetting of privacy settings (no longer do this due to outrage), facial recognition, being marked in photos by others, etc.. I'm good on all social media sites.

Yeah, I do not have a facebook either. Americans usually do, but I do not and I know quite a few people that do not as well.

Maybe the statistics can be found online: I am sure I read in a tech journal that roughly 50% of Americans are active users of Facebook (about June 2012 I think the figures were taken) so half of the USA don't bother with it.
The coutry with the largest pc of the population that are active on it was the UAE or Qatar or somewhere like that.
Western European countries were around the 25% - 35% of the population mark with the exception of the UK which was about the same as the US.
Facebook is no doubt huge but I hate when people say "everybody is on it" even though I know it is just a metaphor.
I know age and other stuff comes into it and I would love to see the statistics on that.
