Having spent most of my afternoon discussing ways to collectively share knowledge with my peers, while implementing some of these features I actually stumbled across something quite useful and intriguing and felt I best share it with the wider community. The PEW Internet & American Life Project has released some new findings on teens and their use of social media. Some interesting statistics from the report are as follows:

• 35% of all online teen girls blog (compared to 20% of online teen boys)
• 55% of online teens have profiles on a social network
• 57% of online teens say they watch videos on video sharing sites such as YouTube.

It is a great 36 page report, while I must admit I haven’t had time to read all of yet. If you’re looking at where Teens are spending their time online, I’d suggest you have a look.
