I believe most social networks are for the under 30s, and research shows more than half of 12-17 year olds have accounts with at least one social network.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In my research on college students' Facebook use, I found the vast majority of respondents log into the site multiple times a day. Personally, I tend to keep Facebook and Twitter open in tabs all day so I can check for updates at my leisure, but I am kind of obsessive about it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Vitak</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:51:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Are Social Networks for Children?</title><link>http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/04/are-social-networks-for-children/#comment-1574555</link><description>Currently I am a heavy user, and log into Twitter, Facebook and other social media/software tools and sites at least once a day, and sometimes more than once a day.  At work I am working on collaboration and social networking for the enterprise, so need to be up to date (although this seems impossible).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Teen blogging is something that I have not encountered yet, I think the younger users are more on IM and MySpace.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers, Marc</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Marc Dierens</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:16:12 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
