danah boyd spent 10 years researching teen use of social media and has written a great book diving into themes and patterns. Similar to Sherry Turkle, boyd looked past the specifics of what teens were doing and focused on generalities and patterns of use across all social media.

As a teacher and parent, it was helpful to think through what developmental hurdles teenagers are tackling with social media as the outlet.

Must read for anyone who educates or works with teens.

ETA: The natural read after this book is http://www.freerangekids.com/. Just sayin'.

Really liked this book. She really knows her stuff - everything she says about technology rings true, and everything she says about teenagers does also. I totally recommend this to parents who worry about social networking and would like to better understand what's going on with their kids on the internet.

On point and worth the time. Just not the right time to read it. If you want the teen and scientific breakdown of how they view it having grown up in technology, five it a go. I think the author is very even-handed with examples vs studies, and hits all the fears and problems we as parents straddling both a life before the Internet and after.
