Facebook Stats - Dominican Republic

I believe it, the younger generation are crazy for social websites. That figure 61% is quite freaky though.

The percentage of 25+ users is fascinating. More than just the younger generation is connected [although to me anyone not yet 50 is the younger generation ;>]. The numbers beg the question: how is the medium being used? Social websites seem to have ignited and sustained liberation movements throughout the middle east. What effect will they have on the Dominican Republic? Although members probably don't think of DR1 in this way, it also is a social website that has been a source of invaluable information for those living and visiting the DR and a place where friendships have been forged. FB and Twitter, etc, appear to be more familiar to the general population and they have had a serious political impact in other societies and have been used effectively by successful politicians here in the US and elsewhere. Will they affect the political terrain there and/or play any significant role in the 2012 elections?

For me Facebook has been useful as I found most of my childhood friends in this site, in most case I did not have any information of them for more than 30 years.

This is a public profile, La tropa virtual de amigos del INVI.

We are sending presents from abroad for the poor kids for Christmas and other special events, helping our friends when they need economy support.

Right Now our Friend Luis Gomez (of a very poor Dominican family) is going through a medical situation with no economy resources, we have a bank account opened so that the members of our group can send deposit from abroad.
