It is very apparent how much hype there is to view news about social networking in the western press, both online and in print/tele. I don’t get it. The world revolves around how much tweeting is done in the US? I respectfully say, Please!? I adored the story of the 15 year old boy in the UK who said twitter is for old people. How wonderful that the UK press picked up a comment not press-released by some old man in a leather chair.
Here is from the article. Read it. So funny.
“Today he is the talk of Tokyo, Wall Street and the City. Fund managers, CEOs and analysts are poring over his report, How Teenagers Consume Media, which he wrote last week while on work experience at Morgan Stanley.
In it he laid out the world according to the teenager: a confusing place where the PC is a radio, the games console is a telephone, the mobile telephone is a stereo and text-message machine, the DVDs are pirate copies and no one uses Twitter.”
