I was listening to the radio other day and the dj mentioned that he felt no-one on Twitter is below 30 – I found this quite surprising because I thought it would be biased towards a younger audience.
This survey by problogger showed that the age range on Twitter does indeed peak at the 31 – 40 age range (a category that I now fall into 
) but it’s also really popular with the 21 – 30 year olds and 21- 50 year olds (and even one user over 100 
)
Thanks problogger – this is good to know. Nice survey tool aswell.

I suppose the old steroetypes have gone now the web has been around for over a decade. Those oldies love it!!
Yes it’s true – my Mum isn’t on Twitter yet but I think it’s only a matter of time!
Hey Verity, thanks for the info’. I think it’s about time the older generation had a social network they love and don’t have to reveal all to participate. Also now that Google has announced that Twitter posts will be indexed by Google I can see the numbers of older users increasing.
Good point Will – the move by Google looks like it will bring Twitter into mainstream use. Here is Google’s post on it. I’d be interested to know how it will look….
