Early adopters - Hackdot

This is somewhat tangential, but I would bet the set of all people who stood in line for an iPhone and who refuse to use facebook is vanishingly small.

if you just look at age demographics of facebook users:

http://www.istrategylabs.com/2009/01/2009-facebook-demograph...

40% of facebook users are 18--24.

now compare to people with iphones in 2009 (different to people who queued, admittedly, got stats on this? but still earlyish adopters since 2009 data)

http://gorumors.com/crunchies/age-demographics-of-iphone-use...

whilst for the iphone, very few are in the 18--24 range: just 13%. most people are 35-54.

it seems from this 2009 users of the iphone tend to be older than users of facebook. perhaps because the iphone is an expensive device.
