Teens no Longer Blogging?
Posted by Maria Mercedes Rodriguez in blogging, Facebook, Twitter
It seems that blogging is slowly but steadily being replaced by Facebook status updates. According to a recent study done by Pew Internet and American Life Project on social media and mobile Internet use, as of 2006 there has been a substantial decrease in teen blogging. As social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are becoming more popular, teens now prefer to share short and concise messages. 28% of teen Internet users were blogging in 2006, this number has now dropped to 14%. However, it is interesting to see that the percentage of older adults that are now blogging is increasing.
Is blogging going to become a thing of the past for teens?
