Not all teens type like idiots. “# It’s not an SMS killer when it comes to communicating with their friends…yet.

Teens like texting from mobile device. Unfortunately, most can't afford the ones that have the cool apps like BlackBerries or iPhones. More will eventually. In my job I have to be plugged into youth culture, and all the teens I know think Twitter is awesome. I don’t think it’s any of that. Teens like texting from mobile device.

When all your friends are in one network, why try another? Teens won't switch until their friends do - neither would adults! Twitter does skew older than facebook.
