Cite your source.

Research I did says the opposite.

The largest age group is 18-24. The next largest age group is 25-34. The age group that encompasses people in their late 30s is the same size as people that are less than 18.

In other words, the age group you mentioned is not even in 3rd place by itself: it is tied for 3rd, and spots 1 and 2 account for 55% of Facebook's demographics.

That's a crock, too. Should be Assange.

No one heard of this guy until the last few weeks. People heard been talking about Zuckerberg for a couple of years now.

People heard been talking?

WTH does that mean?

Oh ya, people have been talking about Assange and WikiLeaks since 2006. You just don't know where to look. And previously, Assange was praised for things he did. Now that there are false sexual accusations against him, people listen. Sex sells remains true.

It was a typo relax.

I have never heard about Assange since he decided to talk release information. Never heard others talk about him until this situation. More people have talked about his situation on FB when it happened. That is why the guy that invented FB got the recognition.

Personally, I thought Assange was a dirtbag before the sex stuff came out; and I dont' think we can call them unfounded (any more than we can clame the opposite.)

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.

Current info says otherwise.

MySpace is dead. Just like Digg. They both had their chance and screwed it up.

Cite a source that says the age group of late 30s are the ones that "use" Fb the most.

I have read this in more than one place and saw it talked about on the news several times. That being said MySpace is used by a lot of artist and people trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, so it is not completely dead. Just used differently. And why do I have to cite a source? You have not given me anything that is sourced? Dude, you are not my professors.

It did not take long to find.

Umm, you did not properly source your hyper link using standard APA standard formatting. Therefore, I am not sure how much accuracy we can credit the article.

Well what if I like MLA instead?
