According to a recent Evans Data survey, developers are flocking to social
networks.
The Evans Data survey of more than 400 developers showed that 75 percent of
the developers belong to at least one social network and two-thirds belong to
multiple networks. Evans Data released its Developer Relations Program Annual
Survey on April 3.
The Evans survey results indicate that developers are much more likely to
belong to social networks than the general population, when compared with a
recent Pew
Research Center study that showed that 35 percent of adult Internet users
have a profile on a social network.
"This latest research shows that developers are like most active
Internet users in terms of having a very healthy interest in social
networks," said John Andrews, president and CEO
of Evans Data. "Consistent with this the primary motivation for joining a
social network is the desire to locate old friends and the need for general
communications."
