55% of teens have created an online profile...somewhere

According to a recent poll released by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 55% of all teens have created a user profile on some social networking site like MySpace or Facebook. Furthermore, it seems that the older teens, particularly girls, are most likely to use these sites; claiming that it helps them maintain their friendships. The boys, use it for real "networking" and of course, flirting. Who would have guessed?
