When I was flipping through the latest issue of Details on the train, something in the “Mavericks 2009” listicle made me do a double-take. The blurb about the founders of Twitter reads, “The microblog site may largely be the domain of tweens and teens.” Um, I’m pretty sure the kidlets are mainly chattering about the Jonas Brothers and Twilight on Facebook and MySpace. In fact, the Pew Internet & American Life Project recently found that the most avid microbloggers are between 25 and 34, with 18- to 24-year-olds coming in a close second. So, mainstream media, the next time you decide to write about “that new Twitter thing,” you might want to do some fact-checking.
