A social networking site is an online place where a user
can create a profile and build a personal network that connects him or her to
other users. In the past five years, such sites have rocketed from a niche
activity into a phenomenon that engages tens of millions of internet users. More
than half (55%) of all online American youths ages 12-17 use online social
networking sites, according to a new national survey of teenagers conducted by
the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
The survey also finds that
older teens, particularly girls, are more likely to use these sites. For girls,
social networking sites are primarily places to reinforce pre-existing
friendships; for boys, the networks also provide opportunities for flirting and
making new friends.
