'“The days of men dominating the Internet may be over, a new study finds. But, according to the study, the two sexes use the Web for very different things.
The study says 68 percent of men and 66 percent of women now go online. Since women make up a larger portion of the population, that means they outnumber men in cyberspace.
The Pew Internet and American Life Project surveyed more than 20,000 men and women over five years as part of research sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trust, a Philadelphia foundation that focuses on informing the public and supporting civic life.
Although a similar percentage of men and women use the Internet, the study found they often use it quite differently.
The research suggests men largely go online to pursue solitary pursuits, while women use the Internet to enrich their existing relationships.”
Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
