TimmyHMost Popular Sites for Kids, Teens and Young Adults
September 24th 2008 03:46
Research coming out of the UK has revealed that Generation Y is easily defined by age and Internet usage and can be classified as such.
Those under 12 use entertainment sites
"The Internet is very much an entertainment resource for young children, mainly due to how well TV broadcasters such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, the BBC and Disney have adapted and extended their traditional offering to the web," said Alex Burmaster, internet analyst at Nielsen Online.
12 -17 are addicted to gaming (Yes, girls too)
Online games sites - including RuneScape, FreeOnlineGames, AddictingGames and MiniClip - dominate the sites with the greatest affinity with 12-17 year-olds.
"As children hit their teenage years, general entertainment sites tend to make way for games-focused sites, which offer a massive range of easily accessible games and ensure that teenage gaming activity extends far beyond the PS3, Wii and Xbox consoles," Burmaster commented.
18 – 22, the laziest of them all, are watching video online.
"It's interesting to see that the sites with the heaviest concentration of young adults split into two conflicting groups - functional and entertainment. This mirrors the uneasy transition of growing up from teenage years into adulthood and the associated increase in responsibility," Burmaster said.
