Many predicted that teens would forgo Twitter, but that seems to be changing as more teens have joined the social network, often because their parents and other family members are not using it. In 2011, 16% of people ages 12 to 17 said they used Twitter, double the percentage who used the service in 2009, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The increase in teens' Twitter use should not be interpreted as a sign of declining interest in other social media platforms, Dave Copeland writes.

A thought-out plan for creating social media engagement with fans can help businesses secure more earned media in the form of community outreach and development, and in digital dialogue between the company and consumers, Alisa Leonard writes.
