Mobile Social Networking More Popular than Twitter Among 18-24 kids

Twitter may be enjoying some nice traffic trends in recent months, but they’re going to have to work harder to win over 18-24 year olds. Sites like Facebook and MySpace along with mobile social networking fare much better with this demographic.

99% of those surveyed say they have a profile on a social networking site. 89% have downloaded an application on that site. 89% have also used the photo features while 53% have played games on the site.

That’s much more than the 22% who are using Twitter.

38% of this demographic have an iPhone or an iPod touch. Of those, 53% play games, 35% use entertainment apps and 31% use lifestyle apps. 26% don’t use any apps.
