PEW Research has a section ALL about Millennials. There is plenty of further research, some applicable to this blog and some that's just fun and interesting.
Enjoy nerds.

- The most annoying phrase I hear over and over is: "Social Media is changing everything, we've got to get involved." While it may be true that social media is changing things, it seems to be unclear exactly how and what it's changing. This is an observational blog, documenting the cultural and communicational shift of millennials (15-30 year-olds) to social networks and mobile devices.

I'm Late to the Game
I know it has been a topic for quite some time, and it just keeps coming up, but social check-ins still seem to be all the rage. I will be the absolute first to admit that for years I’ve thought “Why does anyone need to know where I am?” I am a fairly private person and a fairly cautious person at times, so I just couldn’t see why a service like FourSquare would be useful.
I will also be the first to say, “don’t knock it till you try it.” As a hyper-rational super nerd I feel it is my duty to experience the ‘full effect’ of every social phenomenon—okay, maybe not every social phenomenon, but for this blog’s sake just go with it—I’ve been conducting a little experiment for the past month with social check-ins to see what weight they actually hold and go figure, they’re actually more than just a silly game you play with your ‘friends’.

[Infographic] via SingleGrain
Interesting insights via Scribble and SingleGrain. It’s almost exactly as I imagine it, in a heavyweight battle who will win, Google+ or Facebook?
Verdict's still out.

Google+ Invite
As I'm sure everyone's aware Google launched Google+ about a week ago. Though I have 3 gmail accounts (yes, three) I didn't initially get in invite when I asked for one. No matter, there are great positives to being well connected with social, digital nerds. Within hours I was online.
The network is relatively small right now, so figuring things out is really just trial and error. Thank goodness Mark Zuckerberg and Mashable have Google+ pages or I would be absolutely lost. Well, not completely. Look to my Twitter for a Facebook vs. Google+ play-by-play.
If you need an invite, or just want one I'll think about sharing. Happy Google+ing y'all!
