'"For most teenagers, email is for old people.
That's the finding of a Pew Internet and American Life Project that found that three quarters of teenagers use instant messaging, and the average amount of time spent sending the quick electronic notes has increased over the last four years.
For the majority of teens, email has become the method for communicating with adults, such as teachers, and institutions like schools, and as a way of sending lengthy and detailed information to large groups.
"They see email as much more formal, similar to how adults would see written letters: a quaint way of communicating with older relatives or for formal communications," Pew researcher Mary Madden said. "
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.
