Youths no longer predominant at online hangouts with half of MySpace users 35 and up

Can it be that MySpace is growing up? According to this newspaper article:
Youths no longer predominant at online hangouts with half of MySpace users 35 and up

41 percent of MySpace users are 35-54. The article talks about some of the other social networking sites too but doesn't mention one of the newest, TagWorld.

I wonder how many of these sites will be around in a couple of years, how many will merge, and how many will simply die from lack of market share. I also wonder if these sites will actually be able to make money. They're valued quite highly, but then so were a lot of dot.com companies a few years ago. Time will tell.
