Recent reports concerning the demographics of social websites like Myspace have been showing different results than many people expected. In fact, the people were older than most would have expected. Myspace has a great number of people over the age of 35.

As top social networking sites mature and become more popular, their visitor age profiles are also on the rise. More than 50 percent of all MySpace users are now over the age of 35, according to ComScore Media Metrix.

The basic premise concerning the increase in age of the users is that MySpace has hit the “mainstream” to a degree, and more people are using it as part of business. Facebook, naturally, skewed towards a younger audience, because of their previously closed registration process.

Frankly, I can’t imagine what any of these over 35 year olds are even doing on MySpace.
