In a quest to find what is popular online, Youth Trends recently asked 17-to-25-year-olds to name their top three favorite websites. Facebook.com dominated the results among both men and women.

Among Women Ages 17-25

  1. 69% Facebook
  2. 38% MySpace
  3. 22% YouTube
  4. 13% Google
  5. 10% CNN

Among Men Ages 17-25

  1. 56% Facebook
  2. 19% YouTube
  3. 17% Yahoo!
  4. 17% Google
  5. 16% ESPN

Keep in mind that these are their favorite sites and not necessarily the ones they most traffic. Regardless, Facebook is the place for your church to reach young adults.
