PEW recently published a report titled “Social Network Sites and Teens: An Overview” which gives some interesting insight into how teens use social network sites like Myspace and Facebook.
The report is publicly available here. Beyond the finding that 55% of teens use social networking sites and create profiles, I found it pretty important that 66% of them have private profiles.
From the report, it is also apparent that teens use those sites in every social aspect of their lives. Probably the reason why I do not get much out of those sites is the fact that I am not a teenager anymore.
Anyway, if you would like to read a couple opinions on that I recommend apophenia and Unit Structures.
