Larry, thanks for the data. May I ask what the source is? I’m presently writing a book on social media monetization from a marketing perspective and am including data like this to describe the major sites. Could you email me directly please? andrew@solsolutions.ca

Twitter demographic 35-45?
Blogs demographic 35-55?
YouTube demographic 25-45?

Boy, these seem off by a couple decades. I’ll bet our average 16 year old is much more familiar with all three of these platforms than most 40 year olds.

Great compairison, thanks for making a stab at a few of the biggest names. There apppears to be a lack of compairitive charts especially in 2009. If anyone has seen differently please let me know, I’m doing reasearch for my book on social media monetization from a marketing perspective for Pearson.

The real challenge is how to make these social networks sustainable. No commercial model has proven effective consistently for any of them. “Star power” or brands continue to dominate (in terms of traffic) which is why most attempts to drive traffic (consistently) to a specific site/page/blog is still quite difficult.
