A straw pole of teenagers in my vicinity (and that's not very many it has to be said) revealed an interesting fact. They all do Facebook, MySpace and MSM - but none of them use twitter. They text (or should that be txt) each other incessantly, holding more extensive remote conversations with each other than they do with the people they are face to face with, but no tweets to be heard. We are led to believe that young people are the pioneers in adopting new technology but Twitter seems to have bucked that trend. Twitter, with advocates like Stephen Fry, seems to be the domain of middle aged, middle class usually professional types. Or have I got that wrong?
