Many teens twitter. (and I'm sure many teens don't.) In general i think age is become a less and less meaningful way of identifying somebody (Other sub-cultures describe people a bit better), so I feel a bit funny having this conversation either way. One of the main concepts of the article was pretty right on, that if you're talking about private stuff like what boy you have a crush on, Twitter's not a good place to do it (for adults either), but "Teens Don't Twitter" is a really bad title for that. It should be called "Teens don't send private messages in places where others can see it." I mean, how does his thesis reconcile with how teens undeniably use Facebook/Myspace? The teen in question is so busy texting that she can't use Twitter? (But can use other sites just fine?) Part of me just wants to give up on even responding to the weakness of the premise. But I want to get this out there: Teens use Twitter. I've learned this from YouTube, where I'm in a lot of mixed (age) communities centered around topics that have nothing to do with age, and people of all ages talk about their Twitter handles all the time. In fact, it's through YouTube that I've discovered that Twitter is very diverse not just with age, but with ethnicity, disability and all sorts of things. YouTube is one of the most diverse social sites I've ever been a part of, and I see lots of YouTube <-> Twitter mingling and integration done by users. So yeah, teens are on Twitter, as well as lots of folks that are not your standard members of cubicle nation.
