Publisher: New York Times Magazine, 2004ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Diaries -- Authorship | Internet -- Journalistic use | Internet and youth | Internet users | Teenagers -- Attitudes | WeblogsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Only five years ago [1999], mounting an online journal or its close cousin, the blog, required at least a modicum of technical know-how. But today, using sites like LiveJournal or Blogger or Xanga, users can sign up for a free account, and with little computer knowledge design a site within minutes....The vast majority of bloggers are teens and young adults. Ninety percent of those with blogs are between 13 and 29 years old; a full 51 percent are between 13 and 19....Many teen blogs are short-lived experiments. But for a significant number, they become a way of life, a daily record of a community's private thoughts--a kind of invisible high school that floats above the daily life of teenagers." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author considers how these online diaries have made "the private experience of adolescence" public and notes that "even the Web can't make being a teenager any easier."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
