Seriously I love how a teen doing a paper while interning becomes fact (too small of a study) and. that somehow teens are the evaluator of communication tools.

Hum what about what is the demographic
Nielsen shows 25 yr old 84% growth in Twitter adoption over the past 6 months. Also interesting is the 20% growth happening within the 55+ age range.

This demographic works for me on two fronts both for personal interest topics and as a connector to a vast sea of knowledge and incite from people I may have never come in contact with had not twitter perched on my tree.

What I think is that the article was written to draw attention to I won't say the name reporter / paper, a old tactic, create controversy to gain attention. In this case, gain eyes to the article positive or not, it adds page views thereby justifying view counts to advertisers and drawing attention to a reporter that really had noting of value to write about at that time.

You can see glass half empty or half full. You can see twitter a microcosm of the world and there is relevance or vapid time-wasting.

Maybe she could advise me of taking my dogs for a walk? I take them out about 3-4 times a day and that's probably a chore too.

Come to think of it, I like to drink bottled water 3-4 times a day – man, this chore stuff is really building up – maybe Nicole has a point… ;-)

There's a lot Nicole could write about, but I'm guessing she must be plain tuckered out from her maximum four tweets…

As for “When did teens make up the only subset of the population that matters?” the answer is “since the 1950s when Madison Avenue ad execs decided to make up the concept of “teenager” as a social construct in order to have a new market to cater to that would then 'grow up' using the products that were advertised to them.

Didn't you know, nobody over 21 matters. There's a whole store dedicated to the concept.
