Twitter Users Older Than They Look

"I asked all three of my kids and while all of them have signed up for Twitter, none of them use it.  They said they don't have time for it."

This comment really got me thinking.  He went where one would normally go with questions about this hot new technoloy, his tech savy children and when they wrote it off - he questioned the hype.  While we should all question hype, it occured to me that perhaps Twitter is more of a business oriented tool.  Then I came across "Twitter Older Than It Looks"
