Young Adults 'Like' Facebook. A Lot.

By Mark Bonner - It should be no surprise, but Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) dominance as the social network of choice for young adults is unparalleled -- boasting a user base nearly double that of its closest rival, Google+.

According to a recent study from the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, 84% of 18 to 29 year-olds in the US have a Facebook account, compared to 44% who are signed up on Google+. In third and fourth place, Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) has 40% and Instagram, a Facebook property, has 36%.
