No email?! Facebook ads don't work?! I can now see how valuable these little tidbits of info are for marketing campaigns. I also agree that 4 teens is much too small of a 'sample size' to get a true representation of online teen habits, but I bet they were pretty close! BTW, I was up till 1pm that night laughing at Failblog! Fail! Yes, my eyes were opened during that meeting as well. No email?! Facebook ads don’t work?!

The fear of viruses surprises me so I'm wondering if they're as conscious about backups. I also wonder how much mobile surfing they do. I find it extremely handy to be able to surf on my iPhone when I'm away from my laptop. It's also when I'm most likely to experiment with new sites. I do think that if you take any sample small enough you'll find an odd subset of favourite sites. My colleagues love <a href="http://theonion.com" rel="nofollow">theonion.com</a> and <a href="http://theoatmeal.com/" rel="nofollow">theoatmeal.com</a>. Was there any mention of backing up?

Aside from any homework related research, the only other thing she does online is virtual shopping. No credit card yet. Remember the term "window shopping" from another era? She'll check out the latest arrivals, then go to the mall when she has enough money. If I may add to this, my 14 year-old daughter uses Windows Live for instant messaging with her social circle.

It was fascinating and revealing.
