Latest Data Suggests Twitter (Not Facebook) Is Now The Young Person's Social Network [STUDY]

Since way back, one thing about Twitter, certainly compared to other social networks, has always been true: Twitter is for older users.

Not old people – no social network has really cracked that particular nut, although LinkedIn is trying its darnedest – but older users than other social platforms, certainly Facebook, which has typically been seen as more appealing to teenagers.

Well, guess what: that appears to no longer be the case, as a new and detailed study suggests it’s now Twitter that mostly appeals to the younger demographic, both on desktops and, naturally, mobile phones.

The new research comes courtesy of comScore, and reveals that Twitter’s audience now skews younger than both Facebook and the rest of the internet.
