Even their moms are doing it.<BR /><BR />While social networking sites, the most popular being Facebook and MySpace, are often considered to be for high school and college students, in recent years such sites have seen an increase in users outside of the student set. In fact, MySpace states that 85 percent of its users are over 18, and Facebook says its fastest-growing demographic consists of adults 25 and older.<BR /><BR />Diane Hunzeker, 52, of Scottsbluff said she joined Facebook in February to keep in touch with her three sons.<BR /><BR />"I'm a new grandmother, but my son lives in Texas. He and my twins use Facebook and were sharing videos of the baby ... Facebook makes it easier for me to see my grandchild," she said.<BR /><BR />Of course, having Mom looking over your cyber-shoulder has the potential to become a irritating, which is why Hunzeker says she uses discretion with how she conducts herself online.</SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FDB164FA-09F5-4361-8268-AF4D290E48A4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
