'"Internet users are increasingly time-shifting their media consumption by downloading podcasts to watch or listen later, according to a US study.
A research group looking into the habits of web users, the Pew Internet and American Life Project, found that 19% of internet users had downloaded podcasts to listen or view at a later date.
A similar study in August 2006 found that just 12% of internet users had done this. An earlier study of downloading habits, in February and April 2006, found that just 7% of users had downloaded a podcast in this manner."
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.
