Twitter is the world’s most popular micro-blogging platform and it’s growing at an exponential rate. Many people use Twitter for several reasons such as celebrities creating a so-called fan page to post updates that allows fans around the world to read them, bloggers promoting their blog and some others sharing their thoughts and opinions towards a particular subject. From the reasons I’ve mentioned above, you’d have noticed that Twitter doesn’t seems to attract any kids probably around the the 13-16 age group at all. My peers will definitely be either on Facebook, finding new friends and interacting with them or hanging out in online gaming platforms.
Yes, I’d say that the numbers are growing but they only make up a small percentage of the Twitter population as kids don’t really bother much about the social web and the advanced technology world we are currently living in. I’ve personally asked my friends and classmates “What is Twitter?” and I’m not surprised that they gave me the weird look which obviously shows that they didn’t know how this popular social platform.
However, some kids have shown tremendous results of which a couple of them have managed to attract over 10,000 followers on Twitter! So who are these 5 kids? Check out the list below…

you are so CRAZY where do you get your sources ?
Actually, I know them all so I need not to waste time to find these great kids. But I may have missed some because there are too many people on Twitter.
by the way Miley cyrus is the kid who has the most followers she have 87 413 followers ! ! !
she is 16yo^^
So, why so few teenagers on Twitter?
For me (and I’m not a teen) Facebook is where I talk to my close friends, while Twitter is where I go to learn new things, talk to new people, get news etc. etc.
I am a teen about 3 years ago. LOL!
I am 16 too and I wonder why all teenagers are Internet marketer…
Seems like kids are looking for some other way to increase their allowances. XD
My daughter and son are big Facebook people, but congratulations on all your followers. I know why I follow TX! It’s because I get great information here. I’ve learned so much so far, and the TX daily updates are one of the few newsletter/updates that I actually read. Be sure to subscribe to TechXav daily updates. I get mine in my mailbox!
