Over half of MySpace users are over age 35
Never would have guessed 51.6 of MySpace users are over age 35. This per a comScore report and confirmed by GigaOm, my source for this post.
In addition, the 35+ segment is increasing, having been under 40 percent a year ago. Fox Interactive spokesperson Ann Burkart explained to Gigom, "...As MySpace expands it is becoming more representative of the population as a whole."
I do not have a MySpace account. But I'm smart enough to start asking questions about what MySpace is all about. My gut feel is that MySpace is, if it is not already, going to become a prime social networking place for business people.
Think I'm nuts? I think there's a far better chance my 5 teenagers are going to network at MySpace as they get older than at Rotary, Kiwanis, or a country club.

Sorry, Kevin, I think you're nuts. I have a quite visible MySpace profile

and can tell you that professional networking sites like LinkedIn are far, far more powerful and useful. Oh, and here's my LinkedIn Profile too, just for good measure:

I totally agree with you. I joined my space about a year ago and can’t believe how many people I know are on it. I have been asked by tons of people on my space about my work and how they could get into my industry both old friends and strangers. It is crazy how this avenue has opened up a new dialoged.
