Why “Teens” Don’t Tweet

Here are my thoughts: Teens don't tweet because Twitter-ocracy depends almost entirely upon people being themselves. As a part of this demographic, I see how a relatively small population under the age-25-cap is comfortable with this. In fact, sites like Myspace and Facebook encourage the certain-camera-angles-that-make-me-look-good and photo-shopped faces that make it easy to compensate for our lack of self-knowledge but still become a sociable person.

Until the day that our society finally teaches us that it's okay to be who you are and the nerds co-exist with the jocks and the goths with the preps, this will remain the status-quo. But the internet is ever-changing, and if anyone can do it, Twitter can.
