Why Teens Don't And Won't Tweet

Teens' lives are entirely built around their actual friends. Quite simply, why would teenagers bother using Twitter when Facebook exists, and offers so much more? Teens want a platform that allows easy, fully-functional communication to an exclusive social circle. That is, solely to their friends and peers. Twitter is a platform built for inclusive broadcast (to everyone), and to teenagers it offers no obvious value.

16 year old writes why teenagers don't tweet. He does it himself, though his demonstrated attitude towards work and self-promotion is clearly not teenage.
