Some notes from Teen Lab

Here are highlights from last Wednesday's focus group with Teen Lab. I counted about 27-28 students See my document (check your email) for more details:

• About 50% of the students use the internet. Students suggest they spend about 15-20 hrs a week on the computer.
• 80% of the students have cell phones. Over 80% of the kids have internet on their cell phones to access emails and music.
• They believe Facebook is a lot better than MySpace since it’s clean, organized, and easy to find things and people. A student talked about the marketing aspect of it, regarding the use of individual’s profile, pictures, and groups.
• About 30% use MySpace.  It was generally summarized as “overcrowded” and “messy” interface and layout.
• Only about a third of the students use Twitter.
• They prefer to use Photobucket more than Flickr
