Speed of getting news as well. I learn about major news events through Twitter long before I hear about them in mainstream media.

Twitter’s different than Facebook (
) or MySpace (
) because Twitter is not about your friends. As I highlighted in my analysis of Twitter’s new homepage, Twitter is quickly becoming the epicenter of world events. Yes, you can update your status, but you can do that just as easily on Facebook. What you can’t do on other social media sites is learn about the #IranElection crisis in real-time. -
But Twitter is far less about the social graph than it is about the overall conversation surrounding an item.

Lawrence LiuTeens, more than any other age group, care about their friends. It’s the continuation of real-life friendship (and the creation of online ones) that has driven the tremendous growth of MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, etc. It’s about the social graph. That’s why more than 50 percent of Facebook users are under 25, even while older users are joining quickly.

Twitter is far less about the social graph than it is about the overall conversation surrounding an item. Retweets are about sharing items and @replies are about allowing the public to be part of a conversation you’re having with someone. If you just follow your friends on Twitter, you will barely be using it.

I don't know as if they care more. They are just around them more (school, sports, activities, etc.). Once we leave school and we're in different business, social circles, etc., we don't care less about our friends. I think it's just that we have a more comple range of relationships.

In it, we explained how a recent Nielsen report shows that only 16 percent of Twitter (Twitter) users are under 25. The response was overwhelming – especially from teenagers who currently use Twitter.

While the entire debate is a healthy one, there’s been a lack of focus on the most important question of all: Why aren’t teens using Twitter? The answer to this question is essential to not only understanding why Generation Y has not embraced microblogging, but to the very future of the medium. Let’s take a look at the statistics and the thoughts of my fellow under 25-ers to understand just why there’s a shortage of teen tweeters:-
that 84% of Twitter users are over 24 years old, and that 90% of TweetDeckTweetDeck
users are over that age as well. -
