I know a lot of 14-20 years old kids... They always surprised I often find cool things.. About Jaiku, they don't get it yet, however.... they stick with plain SMS or IMs or skyblogs (blog platform from the french radio Skyrock).
@Betushco, @shooby : hopefully, there are teens out there still interested :)

I have been telling all my younger set kiddos I know. The 17-20 crowd. They are all facebook fans. I almost have them convinced.

As a 15 year-old amongst a flood of high schoolers, everyone's just getting over the move to Facebook. Let alone Jaiku. Good luck sir.

I guess the younger generation doesn't think that someone my age can be a geek.

Facebook was good when you actually had to be in college to use it. Hell thats the only reason I went to college. I wish.

At a dinner I was at the topic of a 50 year old realtor on Facebook came up - consensus - creepy

I think I could get maybe one of my friends hooked on it, but a lot of people are still on myspace out here in the mountains.

My 13 yo has never heard of it and doesn't seem interested either. She is a heavy IMer and myspace user.

I kind of agree with RickMacMerc.
