    <event:abstract><![CDATA[Social network systems on the Internet, such MySpace and LinkedIn, are 
growing in popularity around the world.  The level of such activity is 
now comparable to that associated with email and blogs.  Our research 
addresses the question of whether people in different demographic groups 
use these systems in the same way.  We also examined the relationship 
between membership in on-line social networks and face-to-face networks, 
  especially with respect to different age cohorts.  Older Americans 
tend to use email the same way as Americans in general.  The usage of 
blogs, however, is different, with significant differences in the 
temporal and structural patterns of post and response in blogs being 
evident in different demographics.  Our research has implications for 
the design of social network software for older Americans, as well as 
the algorithms used in search engines for such systems.]]></event:abstract>
