I have done enough citing sources in the last several days.

But it has been well known that the average group on Facebook is in their mid to late 30s. Why, because this is an age group that has grown up with computers and use the site to connect with people they went to school with or they have not seen in years. I got on FB because people at my church were on there and we would send out information to members for many events. Also my high school class used FB to send out information about our reunion this past summer. None of those folks are in their 20s I can assure you of that. I have almost 400 friends on FB and I know just about all of them from childhood, high school, college, church and officials. Almost none of them are in that age group.

MySpace is different and has a different group of people that use and visit that site. And the usage of MySpace is also very different.

I am not talking about accounts. Anyone can get an account. Who is using the site is a different story and primarily what I am talking about.
