The Pew Internet and American Life has published findings from a new study (survey concluded in mid November) examining teen use of social networks.
- 55% of adolescents who use the net are reported to have created online profiles (more females than males).
- 2/3 of those with a profile limit access
Teens describe their interest in social networking sites as a way to stay in touch with friends.
The findings seem to indicate that users are at least aware of potential dangers (only 1% say they are unaware of who can view their profile).
