4voteAuthor's quote: "we’re living in frontier country right now." Clay Shirky & danah boyd are quoted in the article. The author argues that 3 major changes define today's teens: 1) they think of themselves as having an audience 2) they're archiving their adolescence 3) they have a thicker skin than we do.

3voteThere's a not-so-highlighted number in the Pew report that i find very interesting though. 84% of teens have posted messages to a friend's profile or page. This practice may signal something very interesting. Teens are primarily writing "private" messages to each other through this feature. By speaking in the witness of others, it's a lot harder to spread hearsay (or fabricated IM messages).
