This kind of reporting about the age of users for Twitter (or any online service, for that matter) just makes me wonder about gullibility:

What surprised the folks at ComScore was that the average age for Tweeters was in the 25- to 54-year-old range, with the over-45 set stealing the bulk of the user pie. ComScore says people aged 45-54 are 36 percent more likely to use Twitter than the rest of us, while those aged 25-34 are 30 percent more likely. True to their slacker upbringing, Generation Xers aged 35-44 come in third and are only 9 percent more likely to use Twitter than everyone else.

These ages are self reported. How many of them are accurate? I don't know, but I'd expect that a ton of the really younger users are making themselves older, and a fair number of the older users are making themselves younger. As the saying goes: On the internet, no one knows that you're a dog...
