Please participate: Twitter use in the UK among adults 50+

I'm a UK post-graduate student studying how people over 50 use Twitter. There is very little research in this area and I'd welcome participation from any member of the Grey Pride community. I think social media is very empowering for people of all ages and more attention should be paid to how older adults use it. Here is a link to a description of the study and a short survey - Thanks!

Hi there Andrea, I do have twitter, but find facebook more easily accessed with ones friends and family on tap via the newsfeed.

Ditto Kathryn. I would love to know what you have found out. :-)

Hello Andrea

I see you've closed this survey now. I'd be really interested to see what you find - do you have plans to share your findings online anywhere?

I use twitter and absolutely love it. I run a local community website and although I have not had a twitter account for very long it is very much part of my life.

Morning Jane - I'm on Pinterest - find myself looking at other peoples pictures more than sharing my own - should really get more involved as I love the idea behind it.

For gawd's sake, just do it as a private individual. You have my permission below. Anyway, I've now done the study.
