During her first earnings call as Yahoo CEO, Carol Bartz said:

"I have a 20 year old and two kids in their lates twenties.  It's interesting watching the older ones. They do grow up. They're much more looking at Yahoo Finance and not just throwing pictures up all day -- because guess what: they're off the dole."

During the four weeks ending January 26, 2008 a full 42% of US visitors to Facebook were aged between 18 and 24, according to Web metrics firm Hitwise.
