A sixteen-year-old perspective on Techcrunch:
If you look at technologies trending with teens right now, it’s Apple devices (iPhone, iPod), smart phones (Blackberry, Palm), and then social networks (Facebook and MySpace). At least that’s what I see from hanging out with 1,500 other teenagers in high school every day (I am 16 years old). But why not Twitter? Well, because Twitter is a different type of social network than Facebook. Facebook is about connecting people, and sharing information with each other. The way my friends and I see it, Facebook is a closed network. It’s a network of people and friends that you trust to be connected to, and to share information like your email address, AIM screen name, and phone number. You know who’s getting your status messages, because you either approved or added each person to your network.
Martin’s comment: From my observation, this seems to be true with blogs too and for a lot of folks in their early 20s.
Apple Safari’s “Top Sites” consistently forgets Facebook even though I’ve repeated entered it manually and push-pinned it. V. strange.
