Study: Youth no longer blogging, communicating wirelessly instead
Posted on February 4th, 2010 by admin
The newly released Social Media and Young Adults study from the US Pew Research Center finds that blogging is loosing popularity among US youth. Instead, they are moving towards short, instant communication.
“Two Pew Internet Project surveys of teens and adults reveal a decline in blogging among teens and young adults and a modest rise among adults 30 and older. Even as blogging declines among those under 30, wireless connectivity continues to rise in this age group, as does social network use. Teens ages 12-17 do not use Twitter in large numbers, though high school-aged girls show the greatest enthusiasm for the application.”
