'"More than half of all net-using American teenagers use social networking sites, research suggests.
The study for the Pew Internet Project involved 935 teenagers and found 55% of American youths aged 12-17 had accounts at sites such as MySpace and Facebook.
It found that the sites were more popular with older teenage girls who tend to use them to keep in touch with their existing friends.
By contrast, boys were much more likely to use the sites to find new friends."
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.
