We are currently doing a GCSE writing assessment based on this topic in my year 10 class. we are reading a report written by someone that was published on the ‘Times’ front cover. he claimed that traditional media was dying out and that newer, more modern types of media were taking over, and that, no, teens do not use twitter. In his opinion twitter is not used by teens as it is not read by friends and is seen by them as ‘a waste of time’, we are compaing his results to ones we have collected in our local area to see if our media habbits match those of the teens in London.

Well, i’m not a twitter user myself. I see no use to use twitter when i’m already on myspace, facebook, myyearbook and a bunch of other sites. twitter is doing one part of facebook. i can updates on myspace and facebook…why why should i use twitter

One site i like though that is like twitter is teensabout.com (http://www.TeensAbout.com). It’s twitter for teens without having to deal with all the marketing and garbage going on on twitter.

I am not a fan of twitter. I don’t really see the point of it. But I am in love with Facebook. Certainly I don’t spend hours on it, but I love to talk to my friends from my old schools.
I am a teen writer at RadicalParenting.com which is a parenting blog from the kid’s perspective there are 60 teen and tween writers run by teen author, Vanessa Van Petten. We just posted a video of “Why do Teens Use Social Networking Sites?” here:

Twitter is lame, there’s nothing more annoying then random idiotic thoughts that people have I canceled my account after 1.5 years. I followed these so called music groups or celebs just to have them tweet 30 times a days some stupid cause they’re trying to push…..Does Twitter offer anything useful?

Great post!

Very insightful. I think the late adoption of twitter by teens reflects a greater shift in marketing strategy. No longer do you have to have teens on the bandwagon early to start a trend.

Twitter may be the first social phenomena that wasn’t pushed initially by teens.

It will be interesting to see what happens.
