Ipsos Reid has a couple new special feature reports available called "Social Networking: 2009" and "Online Teens: What's the Next Generation Doing Now".

A new study from Ipsos Reid shows a dramatic increase in the number of online Canadians who have a profile on an online social network. In 18 months the percentage with a profile has increased from 39% to 56%. These are some of the findings from "Social Networking: 2009", a special feature report now available.

In a related study, Ipsos Reid also found that online Canadian teens are significantly more likely to have a social network profile than online Canadian adults. Over three-quarters (76%) of online Canadians teens aged 12-17 now have a social network profile, up from 50% in 2007. These findings were reported in the "Online Teens: What’s the Next Generation Doing Now," study.

At $1,500 each or $2,500 for the pair, I think I'll pass on the reports but I certainly appreciate the statement of the obvious in the teaser marketing material.
