This academic year alone our organization, ChildrenOnline.org, has
surveyed more than 2600 students. As in the past few years, the social
network of choice by Independent school students is Facebook. For
students in grades 9-12, 65% of those who admit having a social network
have Facebook. (As opposed to 13% with MySpace). Other social networks
used by high schoolers include Orcut, Friendster, DeviantArt, Hi5 and Bebo.
We did not survey their use of web 2.0 applications.
Best,
