Tweetering mini-Blogs

I found an article in NYTimes.com about bloggers and microbloggers. The article discusses the reality of microbloggers, and simply states that microbloggers are done by an older audience and may serve as an alternative to younger audiences who blog and use social networking sites such as facebook. In addition, the article mentions a survey done by Amanda Lenhart of Pew Internet and American Life Project stating:

"...microbloggers are more likely to live in cities than the average Internet user...9 percent live in rural areas, as compared to 17 percent of all Internet users" (Mindling).

I think that the survey appropriately states a microbloggers identity in that microbloggers may have a greater chance of living in the city simply because the norm of any city. A major city typically houses people that often have to be updated in technology and are constantly updating their status. These people are students, bankers, entrepreneurs, etc. In addition, it serves no surprise to me that I, as a younger audience, am put under the blogger umbrella because I do hold an account in a blogging engine site such as MySpace and not Twitter, a microblogging engine.
