I suppose this can depend on the context of the users. Personally, I've gone through the beginnings of MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat (the last of which I've uninstalled and never use). Having more than a decade of various types of social networking, I've "grown up" on what amounts to a more wordy, involved kind of interpersonal communication.
The generation of people who are just turning 18, though, have grown up with more immediate forms of social networking. Snapchat, Secret, etc reign supreme in younger demographics.
An interesting parallel is the concept of a meme. For people who were around for the growth of the meme, they're stories or actions. For younger folk, they're image macros.
