Social media part of life in S’pore, especially among the young

SINGAPORE : Social media has become a big part of life in Singapore, especially among the younger set.

A recent study by The Nielsen Company, found that 52 per cent of the Singapore population are participating in at least one social networking website, with the most popular being Facebook — at 42 per cent.

Trailing behind as the second—most accessed community or social networking website is YouTube at 35 per cent, while Friendster takes a distant third spot with one in 10 locals using it.

The company’s recent study involved 1,000 Singaporeans aged 15 and above.

Nielsen’s findings reveal that 95 per cent of the 15—19 age group are using some form of social networking media, while 89 per cent of those in their 20s form the next biggest users.

The survey also found that many users in Singapore are not bothered by the security risks associated with social networking sites.

Among those who did express some form of anxiety, loss of privacy from sharing personal information emerged as a top concern.

Five Star Man Utd back on top spot again

Manchester United's hot-shot striker Wayne Rooney scored yet again to help his team crush hapless Portsmouth 5-0 at Old Trafford and return to the top of the Premier League. The champions fired five goals past Portsmouth on Saturday to move a point clear at the top of the table. With the Blues due at Old Trafford in April, the Reds are now technically in control of the title race.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti rates Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney as the best player in the world.

The former AC Milan coach has become an instant member of the Rooney fan club, even though the England international’s goals are preventing the Londoners from running away with the title. Ancelotti believes Rooney has taken over from Cristiano Ronaldo as the world’s No.1 player.

Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai caught dating

Taipei - Five years after their romance ended, singers Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai were caught on what the media said was a date at a Taipei bowling alley.

As a cover, the couple each took along a group of friends, said Apple Daily Taiwan. They also sat in adjoining seats and their friends helped to pass messages between them, the newspaper added.

When its reporters came on the scene, Chou, who was wearing a mask, left in a huff with his party, the newspaper said, while Tsai hid behind her friends.

Witnesses told Apple that they had seen the two bowling.

The paper said that if they have reconciled, that would be a perfect birthday gift for Chou, who turns 31 today.

Chou and Tsai famously split up in 2005 after he was photographed in Tokyo with TV host Patty Hou, who recently became engaged to Citigroup executive Ken Huang.
