Stats on Our Excessive Social Media Use 73 percent of adults now use a social networking site of some kind. The average American on social media platforms receives about 54,000 words and 443 minutes of video every day. More than one billion tweets are sent every hour, or about 100,000 tweets per minute. According to Twitter's calculations, a day's tweets are enough to write a 10 million-page book or 8,163 copies of Tolstoy's classic novel War and Peace (which runs about 1,300 pages). 20 million s were sent in the time it took to say this sentence. 16 minutes of every hour is spent on social networking sites.
