"  If you get your news on Twitter, you are probably young and smart, according to new research.\u00A0 About half of the U.S. Adults who are on Twitter get news there (news is defined as information about stuff going on in the world other than that your sister wore a glitter mermaid costume on Halloween). According to research by the Pew Center and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, this adds up to 8 percent of U.S. Adults. Here are some facts about habits of the Olds on Twitter and Facebook: \u2022 While 34 percent of Facebook news consumers are 18 to 29 years old, 45 percent of Twitter news consumers are 18 to 29.\u00A0The irritating thing happening on Facebook where the Olds are making the youth feel like they just can&amp;#039;t be themselves therefore could be less pronounced on Twitter than on Facebook. \u2022 Twitter news consumers are more educated than Facebook ones. While 40 percent of Twitter news consumers have at least a bachelor&amp;#039;s degree, 30 percent of Facebook news consumers have one, which is roughly proportionate to the 29 percent of the population that has one. \u2022 Only 2 percent of Twitter news consumers are 65 or older, but 7 percent of Facebook consumers are 65 or older.\u00A0 Researchers did not also assess if Twtter news consumers are also hotter. But:\u00A0are you? Tweet about it and let us all know! Or wait, don&amp;#039;t \u2014 that&amp;#039;s a Facebook thing. Never mind. Photo Credit: Twitter  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
