Quote from stock_trad3r:
If the economy were really weak traffic to those sites would be down a lot because people would be canceling their DSL to save money or spend less time surfing the internet and more time finding a job. Since unemployment is still very low people have enough leisure time to surf the web without having to worry about job security.
on the contrary, youtube and facebook etc are all ''free entertainment'', spending time on these sites rather than going out for dinner or going to ski is indicating that people are running out of cash. When the typical saturday night will consist of eating leftovers from the week and being on facebook all evening, and making wine out of fermented ketchup...
