Teenreads.com survey

Teenreads.com (which I highly recommend, by the way, as a great source for young adult novels) released the results of a survey of nearly 2900 of their readers ages 11 to 18. By their own admission, the respondents are teens who are already hooked on reading, so it doesn't provide info about how to draw kids to reading. Still, some interesting stuff and definitely worth a read. Here's some highlights:

Social Networking
71% use facebook (26% more than once a day, 14% daily)
42% use MySpace (8% more than once a day, 7% once a day)
25.7% have a twitter account (6% use it more than once a day, 2.8% once a day)

Television Use
25% use a DVR regularly, 15% sometimes, 59% never (could this be a sign of the book-loving respondents' bias?)
25% watch 4-5 hours a week, 22% 6-8 hours, 27% 8+ hours, 22% 3 hours or less

Games
77% play games online
