If a person has web access at their place of work they are more likely to use social media websites, according to an expert.
The amount of time that consumers spend using social media can be influenced by the type of work they do, according to an industry commentator.
Ben Camm-Jones, news editor at Web User, remarked that many people do not have internet access at work, which is a time that a lot of users will check their Facebook or MySpace account.
He noted that those who have free use of the web during their employment have more of an opportunity to use social networking services, even if they just visit them during break times.
"How engaged people are with social media depends on a lot of factors, one of the most important of which is their line of work," explained Mr Camm-Jones.
Another significant factor in whether people use social media can be privacy issues, fears that may be intensified by negative reports from the press, he added.
Mr Camm-Jones made his comments following a statement by Dadooda.com founder Neil Stapley, which indicated that social networking sites do not cater for all age groups.
