Summary/Abstract: In the early days of the development, Polish blogosphere recruited from professionals equipped with the ability to program in HTML. Only after some time blogging became widespread, in the XXI century to gain a global character with tools for creating blogs by people not armed with knowledge of software development. Technological progress quickly was mastered by the Internet natives, leading to the dominance of “youth” in the network, sending network users known as the “internet inhabitants” into the oblivion. These last, now retake their voice to create their own social spaces. Digital natives dominate especially fashion/lifestyle blogs but not only. However, increasingly, there are network diaries kept and dedicated for the generation of digital immigrants or digital dinosaurs. Differences and similarities in the conduct of blogs aimed at different target groups raise the question of popular understanding of youth and social networking opportunities in a group of non‑native sites. The above questions are confronting with the contented of chosen blogsconducted by and targeted to tree different age groups:14–35, 35 + and 55 +. Repopulation of the network with digital immigrants without an undoubtly expands the capacity of Polish blogosphere about these social groups,which until recently could feel excluded from the network.
