FACEBOOK PARENTS vs TWITTER YOUTH
Surprise, surprise it is not just the kids who are using Social media, it seems the parents are using them also. According to a PEW study, Facebook, linkedin, Twitter, and Pinterest are used by most parents. A typical parent has 150 Facebook friends. One-third of them are “actual” friends. The Mothers favorite is of course Facebook...A typical parent has 150 Facebook friends.
Facebook was about collecting data for dating for the elite. Facebook still collects data but it is your personal information you give to be sold and distributed to marketers. Twitter came through to save us from the overload of personal conversations by limiting the chatter to no more than 140 characters. But Twitter evolved into something else.
Twitter became the lightning rod for revolting youths, flash mobs and revolutionary events like the Arab Spring.. word of mouth random mobilization was discovered inside Twitter.
Facebook was left to reporting political and government news for parents. While young folks were creating news topic on Twitter. Twitter will soon use these same folks with Project Lightningto allow the uploading of their major news worthy event live moving from reading news topics and still photo to live interaction news by the people.
So parents may be viewing facebook to get advice about their children, the children are making news on twitter.
