Just a brief pointer here. Check out the most recent episode of the Sun Identity Podcast, where-in Brandon and Don interview Don‘s 20 year old daughter, Megan, on the different web-technologies she and her friends use.
You can’t make a mountain out of one date-point, but it’s good stuff to hear anyhow. Names:
- MySpace is for middle-schoolers, that is, people who are uncool to college students.
- Facebook rules.
- Email is for planning and scheduling.
- IM (here, AIM) is for communicating.
- Blogs and RSS are not a big deal.
- What’s Twitter?
Again, this is just one data-point, so don’t get your briches all screwed up. That said, it does make me start to think, as I Twittered the other day:
Is Web 2.0 the middle-agers web?
On a broader note, Brandon and Don do a good podcast on identity, football, and movies. If you’re into the identity management space (IdM), it’s worth subscribing to.
