Blogging among adults overall remained steady at roughly 10%

A US study has indicated that younger internet users are losing interest in blogging and switching to shorter and more mobile forms of communication.

The number of 12 to 17-year-olds in the US who blog has halved to 14% since 2006, according to a survey for the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

It suggests they prefer making short postings on social networking sites, and going online on mobile phones.

But the study also found a modest rise in blogging by those aged 30 and older.

Article says micro-blogging is more popular - now what is that?
