Is it just me, or is twitteronia being overrun by "middle aged" people?

Consider this an open-thread.

As a professional tool, Twitter has catapulted in the past six months, and projects like tweetcongress.org aim to increase the usage of Twitter among older elites. If you want more information, the Pew Internet and American Life project posted a very interesting report on Twitter usage last month. (If you can't tell, I work for a new media firm.)
