'"In the ever-growing field of MySpace-Facebook-teenager data analysis, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a survey Sunday that found 55 percent of all teenagers online use social networking sites.

If that sounds obvious, Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist who co-authored the survey, said her team was surprised the number of teenagers who'd created online sites was so low.

"There's this idea out there that every kid is on MySpace these days," Lenhart said, "and it turns out the truth is a little more nuanced than that."


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.
