As the chart below (chart 14 from the report) shows, Facebook is used by 27% of small businesses for business purposes.          This is stunning growth and another data point suggesting Facebook is taking over the web.    The answer is survey methodology.

  A few examples of recent activity in this space include: Facebook is offering food delivery from within its app. And 60% of those surveyed had done so to avoid going out.

. Millennials — the 20- and 30-something consumers whom marketers covet — would rather spend their hard-won cash on out-of-town vacations, meals with friends, gym memberships and, of course, their smartphones, many surveys suggest. Of course, this is not a new trend.
