LOL: Digital social networking 101
In "MySpace - Facebook $200 billion ‘Digital Millennials’ I present new insights on “decoding” the “born at the keyboard,” “perpetually connected,” 14-24 year old demographic cohort expected to top 100 million soon and deemed to influence $200 billion in annual spending now!
RU READY? For the Digital Millennials? Kelly Mooney, President & Chief Experience Officer, Resource Interactive, asked at the recent Shop.org conference in NYC. Mooney presented field research her firm conducted on “Decoding the Digital Millennials.”
According to Mooney, the digital millennials are always-on and always consuming, simultaneously: 20 hours of media consumption daily, over only seven hours of clock time:
10 hours online weekly
30 minutes on mobile phone daily
6-10 text messages per day…
Want to communicate with the “always-on” digital millenials? “Speak” to them in their “language”!
