That’s not exactly the case anymore. While it may have started out that way, especially for sites like MySpace and Facebook – the times they are a-changing.
Stelzner’s report shows that more than 78% of those who responded were between the ages of 30 and 59, with the average age group being 40-49! BiZReport recently reported on the fact that Facebook is getting Gray – users are getting older as more join in this social site. On average, Twitter users are older than those using Facebook and MySpace, and as more businesses and people begin using these sites, that upward age trend likely continue.
