Why Teens Don’t Tweet

Posted August 6th, 2009. Filed under Creativity Social Media Twitter

The facts are in. Teens don’t tweet. But why, wonder millions already afflicted by Twitter, are so many youngsters immune to the plague? I did a bit of market research (read: spent time with my 17 year-old brother and his friends) and unearthed some surprising results. Here, in the words of those blessed with the power to spurn the blue bird’s beak, why teens don’t tweet:

It's been 726 days since I lost my sister in a car crash. She lost her life because some addict decided to tweet and drive. Remembering is my anti-Twitter.

leaping is my anti-Twitter

writing is my anti-Twitter

sanity is my anti-Twitter

How is reading about some lady watering a ficus going to help me build my business? I'm 19, not stupid. Business is my anti-Twitter.

My parents use Twitter. I shouldn't have to explain this. Logic is my anti-Twitter.

What’s your anti-Twitter?
