Then I would question if those numbers came from just the users registered on Twitter. It could be possible that there are more 35-44 users registered but that the individuals who use Twitter the most are under 18 (which would make sense because those individuals have less responsibilities and more free time to spend on social networking sites). Just a thought. :) Another thing to point out as to perhaps why there wasn't much of a reaction the earthquake in Chile was because of the earthquake in Haiti weeks before. Due to the nature of the human psyche, it takes downtime from one trauma for a person to be able to react the same way to another one, without the downtime there is just numbness and little response. So I don't think it means we're doomed, it's just the way human minds & emotions work. Interesting. Then I would question if those numbers came from just the users registered on Twitter.

However, you'd be surprised to find that Twitter specifically has a much higher average user age than other social networks. http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/02/16/study-ages-of-social-network-users/ Pingdom has created really cool charts showing this age distribution and teenagers are second to last in age groups using Twitter (besides people 65 and over).

Teenagers especially are going to be less concerned with a natural disaster since they have less of an emotional capacity or maturity to understand it. You have to take demographics into account with this or else what you're saying doesn't matter.
