DISQUS

I'm pretty sure the teens have always been there - Jonas Brothers has trended multiple times in the last year or so. So has Britney and other teen terms.
Don't Nielsen's only track through their own clients?

Hi Laurel, there have been many studies over the last several months that tried to make the case that teens were not and would not adopt twitter any time soon...I agree with you, which is why I did some research on the subject. :)

While those of us in the workforce may use Twitter for networking and professional gain, one of the biggest upsides to Twitter is that you can make it anything you want to make it and we need to keep that in mind when considering teens. I think the author caught that idea when mentioning DJ's using it for promotions. Many people have trouble seeing the difference between a Facebook status and a Tweet, and it really comes down to broadcasting to the world vs just your friends. When push comes to shove, most teens aren't that interested in broadcasting their lives outside of their own social circle.Managed hosting
