I think Emma meant "online social networks" in her recent post when she said "SNs". She's quoting Canter in Wired. Does anyone know his response rate, sampling frame, and basic stuff like that? I've worked with too many media sources to trust their stats unvarnished. I do trust Pew's though (thanks Ed L.)
