Product Description
Social networking is not very different than other forms of entertainment. When people feel the party's over, they leave.
A key challenge for social networks - keeping a sense of vibrancy, freshness, and interest.
Whether due to the social networker's choice of friends or the social network itself, a large number of people have been quitting out of boredom.
The Bored Social Network Quitters Consumer Tech Index reveals who these bored consumers are, what else they are doing with their computers and phones and other tech products, what's being used, what it's being used for, who is using it, and how many quitters there are.
