Hola Kelly and all ~ You may want to check this paper I published with couple of my students (Teresa Correa and Amber Willard-Hensley, now professor at SLU). The paper is available for educational purposes here: www.homerogdz.com (under publications). We were more interested in learning about how personality traits predicted social network sites use. However, there a couple of good tables that provide info good info about its use based broken down by gender and age (young people vs adults). Hope it helps...

Hi, We have just started an EU project AAL project named SomedAll ( http://somedall.vtt.fi/). We are starting by surveying the state of the art in the domain. I would be very thankful if someone could suggest us relevant resources in the domain of **social media/network usage for elderly people**.
Thanks a lot,
