What is the average age to have a MySpace?

Answer 1

Despite public perception, most MySpace users are over 35, according to a release today by ComScore. The stat-tracking company says that as MySpace continues to grow, its user base is skewing older - teens accounted for around 25% of users in August 2005, but now only represent 12% of the audience. Almost 41% of MySpacers are aged 35 to 54 - a big increase since last year. ComScore's stats on the other networks are less surprising: Xanga attracts the youngest users, with 20% of them aged 12-17. Facebook, meanwhile, hits the 18-24 crowd, but that's likely to change now they've opened up the site to everybody - Facebook's average age will probably skew higher over time. Finally, Friendster attracts mainly adults. Bear in mind that Comscore's measurements aren't affected by users lying about their age: the millions of MySpacers aged 100 won't make any difference. But just even though most users are aged 35 or over, I'm willing to bet the most active users are still the under-35s - advertisers will continue to use MySpace to reach the younger demographic.
