The Pew Research Center released results from their latest survey of teens and young adults about their Internet, social media, and mobile phone usage.
The study reveals a big shifts in the percentage of teens, young adults, and older adults who blog.

Today we’re trying something new that I hope will become a regular feature at Christian Web Trends – a “Follow Friday” interview with another blogger.

So, this morning I installed the IntenseDebate Comments plugin for Wordpress.
