世論 What Japan Thinks

Or any other SNS for that matter, in this goo Ranking survey looking at what words or actions by friends on social networking services rile people.

Demographics

Over the 29th of February and the 1st of March 2012 1,175 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.4% of the sample were female, 10.0% in their teens, 16.5% in their twenties, 29.3% in their thirties, 24.1% in their forties, 10.6% 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.

I don’t really spend enough time on SNSes to have many of my own, although for some reason friends pushing the Like or +1 button on posts that I disagree with does annoy me a little. Thinking a bit more about it, I find things tiresome rather than annoying, I suppose, but then I am an anti-social git…
