Girls write, publish pictures and build networks with, mostly, other Girls.  This new phenonomen has been described in Swedish media partly as a problem, where adults are worried that the information the young Girls publish about themselves is too personal, and can be used for the wrong purposes. It has also been suggested that the content of young Girls blogs has little value, beeing mostly narcissitic, superficial and obsessed with fashion and shopping.
