The Future of Blogging
A recent Pew survey revealed that the popularity of blogging among teens and young adults has declined dramatically from 28 percent to 14 percent from 2006 to 2009. There are many factors that could have contributed to this drastic decline, such as the plethora of real-time communication platforms like social networks, the explosion of gaming platforms (Wii, Playstation, Xbox) and 24/7 access to instant entertainment such as Netflix and Hulu. While this wasn’t an exhaustive scientific study, it does reveal a trend that clearly shows that blogging is losing its luster with today’s younger generation.

  • Relationships and Identity: Two Sides of the Social Networking Coin
    As organizations explore the use of social networking, the enterprise is no longer the only participant in managing identity.

As a result, organizations should incorporate “social identity” claims within identity management practices. The analysis below is an update to my earlier post .

  • Adults take over social networking, children bail out?
    UK telecom regulator Ofcom has released a major study on use of telecommunications in the UK, out of which some interesting statistics on use of social networking have come. It's not surprising to see the substantial rise in social networking in the 25-54 year old age bracket. Adults have "got it" and piled on board to network online with friends and for work. What is more surprising is that 15-24 year olds are using social networks slightly less than they were, with the Guardian speculating (there is no evidence for this from the report) that it is the uptake of social networks by older people that is causing this "adolescent exodus".
