Self-serving doesn't begin to tell the story.

But that also depends on the vantage point. Most users probably think they do whereas a company/institution looking to get their brand out might say the user who just updates a "status" does not; rather those that share info, network and are those "Mavens" (as Gladwell put it) are the true ones to tap into. Joe, stats can go any way depending on the data set and the question. "Who uses it" vs "Who signs up" are different questions. My gut says to go find out myself.

The PEW research was actually done after the Mashable review. Who's a guy to believe? I think it’s interesting that Mashable and PEW have such divergent opinions.

Earlier this year, there appeared to be some evidence that teens weren't really using Twitter. (http://bit.ly/25oYFO). But now, according to comScore, it appears that may be wrong. From Mashable's coverage of the back and forth: "According to new data from comScore, younger users – specifically those in the 12-17 and 18-24 year-old demographics – are Twitter’s fastest growing audience segment." (http://bit.ly/14tXbi) Guess the question is who knows who uses Twitter? Or better yet, who uses Twitter well?
