As more people become comfortable with the concept of social media they begin to venture into the social media waters. At first it may be a little usage of LinkedIn for business connections, then a little dabling with Facebook and before they know it they are full blown social junkies with tweets and re-tweets on Twitter.

Pew Internet recently released it’s social networking report Twitter and Status Updating, Fall 2009. They found that there are three primary groups of internet users that are driving the growth of social media: social network website users, mobile/smart phone users, and users under the age of 44.

Perhaps the most exciting piece of information in the study is the average age of social network users. The release of the Pew Internet study set the internet abuzz, and spawned the Twitter trending topics of “Facebook 33″ “Twitter 31″ and “Myspace 26.” Twitter users commented on the topic and re-tweeted “The average age of social media users are as follows: Linkedln 39; Twitter 31; MySpace 26; Facebook 33.”
