Youths No Longer Predominant on MySpace
mikesd81 writes "The Associated Press is reporting on the rapid aging of MySpace. More than half of MySpace's users are now 35 or older. From the article: 'Just a year ago, teens under 18 made up about 25 percent of MySpace, the popular online hangout run by News Corp. That's now down to 12 percent in the comScore analysis released Thursday. By contrast, the 35-54 group at MySpace grew to 41 percent in August, from 32 percent a year earlier ... The study was based on comScore's regular panels for measuring Internet audiences, rather than MySpace's registration information, where users often lie about their age.'"
More predators, less victims.
FEWER victims. Sorry, it's just so painful to read bad grammar.
Don't just game, Dungeoneer
What is the size of the 55+ group?

No, it's just that more teens lie about their age. Since they no longer have to keep their age under 16 to keep their profile private, and they raise their age to make it harder to find them. You wouldn't believe the number of young looking 99 year old people in Alaska.
