Blogs Just Aren't Cool Any More, Teens Say
The strangest thing about this poll.
September data, meanwhile, shows that most teens don't tweet: only 8 percent of teens use Twitter, as opposed to 19 percent of adults. MySpace remains the most popular social networking site for teens, while Facebook serves the same role for adults.
MySpace? That's soooo 2007! C'mon teens you can't let the adults out-Internet you.
Please, I'm glad to know the kids are somewhere else.
I wish I could figure out where the college students are. They ignore email; some are not even on Facebook! I think they just text-message each other individually. It makes marketing boring stuff like the library to them really hard.
flea, I feel your pain about the dentist. We had to have both Owen and Olivia's molars crowned because of decay, in addition to the other fillings. Who'd have thought to budget $5K for kids' dental work? Not me.
You deserve a do over. Any way you can get a lunch delivered and find a few minutes to yourself?

Why, in my day, we got paper flyers in our dorm mailboxes. Paper flyers!
At my university, the college students seem to be of the "individual text" variety as well. They have facebook and pay no attendtion to it. Possibly because it is a bunch of grownups connecting with people from high school and playing silly games!
I trust my dentist very much, and I've been going to her for at least 15 years if not more. However, if it was any other dentist I'd not known for long, I'd get a second opinion on $5K of work.
I think it's just the "if you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" as applied to dentistry -- only it's a drill they're using, you know? I can't see much purpose in crowns put on baby teeth, seriously.
Oh, GOD. Everything short of canon admission, I'm sure.
Angel had canon admission. I'll be wanting visuals to pass the feather boa on to White Collar.
MySpace? That's soooo 2007! C'mon teens you can't let the adults out-Internet you.
I think they out-Interneted us by throwing up a rampart of blinking animated backgrounds and song clips that play automatically to keep MySpace for themselves. It feels as if my eyes and ears bleed any time I look up a profile on that site.
The dental stuff is such a clusterfuck of horrible. It's incredibly expensive (hello, I needed that money to buy my house a new roof!), stressful when they sedate your kid (though in this respect they are great and gentle and the kids are not scared or in pain - but still, parents take it hard), AND you get to feel like shit because it's either your fault for not ensuring good oral hygiene OR it's your fault because you have bad tooth genes, possibly BOTH! Woot!
For marketing, my cleverest idea has been the bathroom stall monthly newsletter. I know they pee.
I have a 25-year-old friend who doesn't even have an email address. She texts exclusively. I'm not sure she knows exactly what Facebook is.
flea, are they permanent teeth that need capping? That's just so unbelievable to me! Poor Casper.
