'"Although they are more likely to be contacted by strangers online, teens who have posted photos of themselves or created personal profile pages aren't necessarily finding those contacts scary or uncomfortable, a new study finds.
In its latest report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 44 percent of online teens with profiles at sites like Facebook and News Corp.'s MySpace have been contacted by a stranger, compared with 16 percent of those without profiles.
About half of those who have posted photos of themselves anywhere on the Internet have been contacted by someone with no connection to them or their friends, compared with 16 percent of those who have not posted photos."
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.
