Social Media and Teens: Blogging Down, Social Networking Up

The Pew Internet and American Life Project released new research this week that shows blogging is down among teenagers, while use of social networks is way up.

14% of online teens now say they blog, down from 28% of teen internet users in 2006.

73% of wired American teens now use social networking websites, a significant increase from previous surveys. Just over half of online teens (55%) used social networking sites in November 2006 and 65% did so in February 2008.
