Social Networking: The Bahamas

The Bahamas is a very popular vacation resort, as well as a country that consists of 700 islands that span over 100,000 square miles of ocean.  I found a couple of very helpful graphs that display that role that social networking plays in the Bahamas.  In the Bahamas, Facebook is mainly used by eighteen to twenty-four year olds and least used by sixty-five and older.  More females use it, but only by a small margin.  This information is displayed in the graphs below.
