Facebook confirms the adage: Sex sells. From February until May 2010, social media scientist Dan Zarrella processed 12,000 links to news sites and blogs. He discovered that links about sex were 90% more likely to be shared on Facebook than any other subject matter.
Worse still is the fact that 47% of Facebook users have profanity on their walls.
Aa new study by the reputation management service Reppler discovered that over 47% of all Facebook users have curse words visible on their walls, with these profanities being posted by a friend 56% of the time.
In other words: Nearly half of Facebook users are comfortable with swearing. The most common profanity on Facebook? No prizes for guessing: It’s the “F-word.”
