According to a new study, the social media fireballs Pinterest and Instagram have almost doubled their users in the last 3 years. This spring Pew Research Center, surveyed 1,907 adults about their social media habits. The survey found that, 31% of the adults now use Pinterest, while 3 years ago it was just 15%. Whereas, 28% of adults use Instagram, when only 13% used it in 2012. It also found that, LinkedIn is the only social media site which actually saw its users somewhat decrease in last past year.
While 72% of teens are on Facebook, the growth rate is extremely slow as it has only increased 3% since 2012. Nonetheless, with 1.49 billion users, Facebook is still numerous times larger than any other social media site till now.

While some 41% adults use impermanent apps such as Wickr and Snapchat.
