According to a recent marketing survey (highly sophisticated I’m sure) teens are rating Facebook less important. Twitter is gaining on FB.
This is great. FB doesn’t need teens with their future job inhibiting pictures on it. Those teens should be studying in their rooms, learning skills in preparation for the big day they move out on their own (today average age 35?). Of course Twitter is probably not going to help their vocabulary or attention span. Our future needs smarter people who know more than stupid apps and video games. We don’t need another smartphone hey-look-here-I-am app like foursquare.
The shocking news here is that a marketing firm found teens that had enough focus and interest to take a survey. Maybe they were bribed with pizza slices.
One of the newer social online outlets teens mentioned was Vine. Vine is the 6-second video-clip service from Twitter (do you think Twitter is targeting teens?). Using their smartphone which I am sure was a reward for cleaning their rooms, they can quickly share 6 second clips of their exciting important lives with the eagerly awaiting world. Really who has time for a minutes long youtube clip?
The Vine service offers teens the peer publicity they crave. Once upon time I think blogging offered a method to get attention. Of course blogging requires a minimum amount of writing skill (not much really - my blog for example).
What-do-I-know Lisleman sees Vine as a flash in the digital fad fire. Before Justin Bieber's next girlfriend, 6 seconds will just be too long to watch.
Teens, one more thing - get the hell off my lawn.
