This weekend I ran a poll using Google Consumer Surveys. Google assures me that the respondents represent the “US Internet population.” Here are two questions I asked:

Do you you have a Facebook Account?

Do you have a Twitter Account?

These are the results for the first question:

Full results and insights for the Facebook question

And for the second:

Full results for the Twitter question

Some interesting insights:

– For Facebook, women said yes more than men (48% and 37%, respectively). That’s a significant difference, even taking into account the margin of error. Is Facebook really that much more popular among women?

– The 35-44 age group had the most positive responses (48%). The 18-24 group only had 27%. Is Facebook losing popularity among the college-age population? Are they moving on to something else?

Overall, I was quite impressed with Google’s survey tool. What kinds of questions would you ask?
