Twitter is not for teens?

twitter.JPGRecently, an article was published about a 15-year-old intern at Morgan Stanley who reported on the media usage habits of he and his friends, and makes some bold statements about teens and media in general. Matthew Robson states that traditional media like TV and newspapers are losing ground among teens, which I can completely understand, as I know we're using the internet for everything! He also states that teens don't like paying for downloading movies or music from the internet, and find advertisements annoying. These are both pretty obvious, logical statements to me, but what is most intriguing to me is his report that he and his friends don't use Twitter, yet use new forms of social media. What kind of social networking mediums are you guys using to stay connected? Is Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace completely or near passé? Are you using the Wii or XBox Live or just plain old text messages instead?
