Lies, damn lies and social media statistics

96% of Americans use Facebook - yeah right!  I'm not sure if Business Insider got this wrong of if the original Bank of America Merrill Lynch report (the report is not available online for me to check) from where it originates is to blame.  Either way it is indicative of a trend in the regurgitation of social media/internet statistics that appear in blogs, dodgy infographics as well as mainstream media. 

Rant over.
