MySpace: Half of the users are 35 or older

[pocketrockets]

Interesting numbers from this study...

"It's not all youths on MySpace. Half of the site's users are 35 or older, according to comScore Media Metrix's analysis of its U.S. Internet traffic measurements. Only 30 percent are under 25 despite a common belief that the site is mostly populated with kids and young adults."

Haha. They maybe 35 but what if they are 35 year old bums living with their moms, of course they'll have nothing better to do than go on the "oh so awesome" Myspace.

The design of that website alone just kills me =/

Pretty sure the half that are over 35 are either trying to sell stuff to people under 35, or molest those under 35.

Go ahead and try to market products to 35+ on myspace. I would doubt you would have any success.

What if you market Spy tools or something.

I want to know how many of the accounts of the gabillions are junk/spam accounts.

There is no way that's right... I'd bet my life on it.

...and how many of those 35+ year olds are pedophiles?

The real info:

Apparently 35% of the people on Myspace are over 100 years old based on their submitted information. So the average age is now 35.

MySpace seems like a great thing, but in my experience the traffic is shit. Sure you can get results, but it seems like too much work nowadays when compared to the return.
