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. 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.

At work I am working on collaboration and social networking for the enterprise, so need to be up to date (although this seems impossible). Teen blogging is something that I have not encountered yet, I think the younger users are more on IM and MySpace.
