Pew Internet: Social Networking Websites and Teens: An Overview
Here’s the big story: most teens use the “networking” sites to hang out with the friends they already have.
It’s networking in the sense that they’re hanging out with friends but not as much in the sense of meeting new people. It’s another indication that people use technology to do the things they already do…not for mind-bending new activities. (over time our activities change, but pretty slowly)
Like all studies like this, these results should be viewed more as trend indicators instead of the last word.
