世論 What Japan Thinks

The phrasing of this survey question from goo Ranking is a bit odd, but it’s rather a good list none-the-less, looking at what people think it might be dangerous to tweet about.

Demographics

Between the 18th and 20th of October 2011 1,092 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.3% of the sample were male, 11.2% in their teens, 16.2% in their twenties, 25.7% in their thirties, 25.8% in their forties, 11.5% in their fifties, and 9.5% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

If numbers 7 and 8, for instance, were followed on Facebook, it would be a very, very quiet place indeed! That reminds me of the recent story about how three-quarters of the photos of British people on Facebook are from when they were drunk!

I’m more likely to post to Google+ myself, and the only one I’d stop at would be posting a photo taken at home and tagged with location information.
