2008

Welcome back to the Campus for 2008.

Did you know that :

A study during 2007 in the US has shown that 59% of all American teenagers engage in at least one form of online content creation. Of those 35% of all teen girls blog, compared with 20% of online boys, 54% of girls post photos online compared with 40% of online boys. Boys however like their video, with 19% of boys posting video online vs. 10% of girls.

Other figures from the study include:

• 33% create or work on webpages or blogs for others, including those for groups they belong to, friends, or school assignments


• 28% have created their own online journal or blog, up from 19% in 2004.


• 27% maintain their own personal webpage


• 26% remix content they find online into their own creations

It showed that 55% of teens online use a social networking site. The flip side to that is that the presumption that sites such as MySpace or Facebook may have peaked may be untrue if 45% of teens aren’t using one of these sites already.
