    Notes: Facebook narrowly edges Twitter as the social platform that users believe is best for keeping up to date with news, sports or politics, per survey results from Ipsos. The study, commissioned by Pinterest, finds that users generally feel Pinterest is best for collecting project ideas, pursuing hobbies, expressing creativity and shopping, among others, while Facebook gets the nod for staying connected with – and communicating with – friends and family.

    While Twitter is second to Facebook in terms of keeping up with the news, it is the platform that users feel is best for keeping up-to-date with their favorite celebrities.
