Content creators

That's what this fresh report from the Pew Internet & American Life project calls online teenagers. If you go so far as to download the full pdf report, you can find out such tidbits as:

Some 57% of online teens create content for the Internet. That amounts to half of all teens ages 12-17.
33% of online teens share their own creations online, such as artwork, photos, stories, or videos.
22% report keeping their own personal webpage.
19% have created their own online journal or blog. 38% read them.
About one in five Internet-using teens (19%) says they remix content they find online into their own artistic creations.

Interesting implications in that last one. And, of course, there are some notable gender differences:

Older girls ages 15-17 are the most likely to blog; 25% of online girls in this age group keep a blog, compared with 15% of older boys who are online.
Older teen boys with broadband connections at home are the most likely to say they get music and video files online.
