"Twitter is for old people"
Eris:
i listen to the radio almost constantly.
jhocking:
While watching the show True Blood (incidentally, if you haven't seen this show, many people will tell you it is awesome but really it is shit) my fiancee figured maybe it was written to appeal to teens, which made me reflect on the fact that I really have no idea what appeals to teens. My kids will totally be embarrassed by me.
ViolentDove:
I like True Blood. :-(
Maybe you just don't get the erotic vampire genre, Mr. Hocking.
Edit: Also I'd never really understood the fuss about twitter. Seems pretty bloody pointless to me. I'm also sick of people telling me it is The Future Of Journalism. Because it really, really isn't.

This isn't true. Anecdotal data can be very important to a number of kinds of research (anthropology, psychology, and history all use first hand accounts quite a bit). However, just as with quantitative data, you need more then one point of information and you need to make sure that you are accounting for variables. Hearing from one 15 year old in one country and acting like the information is applicable to all teenagers in the developed world is rather ridiculous. I think it's fairly common, though, that adults tend to think that asking one teenager about what it's like to be a teenager is enough to get the whole picture. If they really wanted this information they would be careful to interview kids from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, genders, economic situations and interests.

This is the function of parents of teenagers: to embarrass their children.
