Tweeters more likely to donate

People who use social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are more generous when it comes to donating money to causes than those who do not, according to new research.

A marketing agency in the UK surveyed 24,000 people between October and December last year, finding:

•  Social networkers aged 25-34 were 37% more likely to have given $250 or more to charity in the previous 12 months than the rest of those surveyed

•  Social networkers aged 35-44 were 8% more likely to have given more than $250
