Maryland and Virginia are two of the most social media-obsessed states, states new study
Maryland and Virginia were named as two of the most social media-obsessed states in a study, reports FOX 5 DC.
According to the study, the average American checks their mobile phone 205 times daily, with much of that time spent scrolling through social media feeds. As platforms continue to expand their influence on everything from shopping to news consumption, our collective relationship with social media becomes increasingly complex.
“You can tell a lot about a region by how its residents interact with social media,” says Monica Cabaniss, co-owner of Falcon Digital Marketing, a firm specializing in digital advertising strategies. “It’s like taking the pulse of America’s digital heartbeat.”
According to the survey, Virginia was number six on the list while Maryland snagged the 10th spot, states FOX 5 DC.
The most social media-obsessed state is Arizona, with a rate of 1,511.11 searches per 1,000 residents – nearly double the rate of second-place Maine. The Grand Canyon State’s residents search heavily for platform-specific terms, with platform searches accounting for the vast majority of their social media queries.
