Twitter grows like a weed...

Direct quote from this article: "It just goes to show you how much social media, and specifically a site like Twitter, has become woven into the fabric of our daily media lives. News broadcasters like CNN’s Rick Sanchez have actually incorporated Twitter into their live broadcasts, and it seems like just about every other journo these days has a presence on Twitter."


... and of course the Twitter link at the bottom...

Twitter bad for your GPA?!?! Say it ain't so!!!

A study by Ohio State University's education department researchers have "discovered" that there is a correlation between the number of hours on Facebook and GPA.

In this case the more hours spent on Facebook, the lower the GPA... Go figure...

Why Facebook and Twitter are glad they're getting older

Here is an interesting article from CNet about the changing demographics among Facebook and Twitter users.


Apparently 10 percent of Twitter users are between 55 and 64. Which is the same percentage as are 18-24. Also they state through a link to Reuters that 18- to 24-year-olds are 12 percent less likely than average to visit Twitter.

I love the comment about older users being a "coalition of the willing".

An interesting and quick read...
