Managing online identities and personal information in the age of MySpace
"Much of the media coverage surrounding young people and online social networks has focused on the personal information teens make available on these internet spaces, where users can create a profile and connect that profile to others to create a personal network.

A new survey and a series of focus groups conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project explore questions of teen online privacy protection from several perspectives: by looking at the choices that teens make to share or not to share information online, by examining what they share, by probing for the context in which they share it and by asking teens for their own assessment of their vulnerability."
