Is Article Writing Old School?
A short while ago, EzineArticles.com started featuring the pictures of on its home page. The images of the over 30,000 people who have written and posted articles are shown at random. I have found this feature very interesting and every time I log onto the site, I click on one or two of the pictures. The variety of talent and topics covered are truly amazing. While looking at the pictures of these various article writers, I noticed something I didn’t expect. Article writers tend to be an older crowd. Of course, as far as I know, people are not required to give their age when they submit their biographical information. Even submitting a bio is voluntary. So there likely aren’t any statistics to verify my observation that most of the writers tend to be over thirty. This surprises me because the demographic of Internet users is skewed to the younger age groups. Also, the most popular sites on the net tend to be dominated by young age groups. I am thinking of sites like myspace and youtube
