48 Million
Forty-eight million American adults have contributed some form of user-generated content on the Internet, according to the "Home Broadband Adoption 2006," a report published by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. That's 35 percent of Internet users. Of those adults who have posted content on the Web, 73 percent, or 31 million, have a broadband connection at home.
That's a lot of digital self-expression.
Robert Young writes, "In many ways, the art-form of self-expression has become the “new media”, and social networks are their distribution channels."
