Aitor's Blog: TUENTI, THE KING OF THE NET

Eight in ten girls of twelve to seventeen years using social networks and, given the choice, eight out of ten Tuenti prefer over others such as Facebook and Fotolog. These data, taken from a study by the University Camilo José Cela 7,000 adolescents, reveal a "social phenomenon" in the communication models of youth, "possibly unique in history."

This was said yesterday at a press conference the Vice Chancellor for Research of the institution, Adolfo Sanchez, accompanied by Sebastian Muriel, CEO of red.es, and Icarus Moyano, head of communications Tuenti.

The networks have caused a change in mindset that could be called 2.0 generation, because they have supplanted the television between leisure preferences. 18.3% say that what entertains them is connected to the network, compared to 16.4% who choose to watch TV. The report shatters some myths related to these new tools that young people have become addicted and that are of concern to parents, Sanchez said. Children will not change these communication channels by direct contact with their environment, despite what you might believe, since 80% stated that their choice of entertainment is going out with friends, 40% opt for sports and 21.5% by going to the movies. Another surprising fact is that 93% of respondents know the networks through the ear and mouth, when, in addition, most use them for less than three years.
