If young adults and teenagers aren’t using Twitter – see this chart here - and Facebook is getting an older demographic then where are all of the teenagers going to communicate? My newsfeeds are filled with people even older than me on Facebook these days. Facebook is now for the “young at heart” I guess.
I was surprised to hear about MySpace and how it was actually getting younger now than Facebook in terms of demos but I think all of the teenagers are simply texting on their phones. My son and daughter both have Blackberries. It has become their laptop of choice in a way. They glance at their Facebook on their Blackberries. They use it as a phone. They read their email on it. They use AIM and they text all of the time.
What we saw happening in Europe has now blown up here. Kids use their mobile devices as PC’s. Kids use texting as instant messaging. That is the killer app now.
