- W2112100258 abstract "Internet users continue to develop new ways of communicating online and disseminating information; one of these methods, the blog, also known as web log, has become a significant cultural phenomenon. Blogs offer an interactive medium for internet users to create and contribute content to the web. Initially introduced as online journals in the mid-1990s, user-friendly blogging software has made online publishing much more accessible and widespread. (1) The popularity of blogs evolved in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, as people sought new ways of exchanging information; the technology proliferated when users realized the power of blogging to reach a worldwide audience. Now even novice users can post material on web pages, comment on others' sites, and establish links to a variety of blogs. Most blogs represent content in a journal format. Recent figures estimate that a new blog is created every second. (2) The blog phenomenon has impacted not only the nature of online communities, but also created new political and social spheres of influence. (3) Blogs may attempt to sway public opinion about political issues, share commentaries by professional and citizen journalists on major news events, or serve as social networking tools for young people. They range from the mundane to the outrageous. Some blogs have established reputations for accurate reporting and have a worldwide following, while others remain obscure and limited to a small, connected group of friends or associates. Regardless of their influence, blogs are a form of mass communication that augment existing dissemination strategies and facilitate online debate and dialogue. Youth Bloggers The blogosphere (or community of web logs) of young people primarily centers around social networking sites, such as MySpace, Xanga, and Facebook. Young people use this forum to publish their creative works, photos, stories, videos, comments, and other online content. These sites allow teens to express themselves, share their interests and passions, and get feedback from others. They facilitate connections with other students who share common interests and help maintain bonds within a peer group. As stipulated by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, most of these sites are open only to children aged 13 or older. (4) However, most sites do not use age verification tools, and there are many younger blog users who lie about their birthdates when setting up their own personal blogs. (5) Between March and August of 2005, the number of blogs nearly doubled in size, increasing from 7.8 million to 14.2 million. (6) Researchers from the Children's Digital Media Center at Georgetown University have reported that more than half of all blogs are run by 13- to 19-year-olds. (7) In a Pew Internet study, among the 21 million teenagers who use the internet, 57 percent have contributed content to the web, and 19 percent have created their own blog. (8) Nearly 40 percent read blogs--with older adolescent girls being the most avid users of this forum. Most restrict their blog activities to a network of peers with whom they have prior association, and use interactive communication tools to enhance their social connection with friends. This allows teens to network with others, share their interests, and express their thoughts. They assemble galleries of friends, and the size of friends lists can be a status symbol among peers. Blogs in Education An increasing number of schools have integrated blogs into instruction to enhance communication and promote more engaged learning. Blogs are being used to keep parents informed of classroom activities, to engage students in reflective journaling, to enhance students' summarizing and writing skills, and to promote safe, constructive blogging. (9) Teachers may post the day's activities, assignments, handouts, or class grades. Some school blogs include an interactive component in which teachers respond to questions from students. …" @default.
