'“The Pew American and Internet Life Project research suggested that 12 to 17-year-olds look to web tools to share what they think and do online.
It also said they were much more likely than adults to read and have a weblog.
The report found that those who did have blogs were far more likely to remix and share music and images.
A third said they shared their own work - artwork, photos, stories, or video - with others online. Girls were more likely to do so than boys - 38% compared with 29%.
Nearly one in five who use the net said they used other people's images, audio or text to help make their own creations.
Interestingly, the teenagers who blogged (52%) were more likely to care about copyright issues than those who did not blog.
"These teens were born into a digital world where they expect to be able to create, consume, remix, and share material with each other and lots of strangers," Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, told the BBC News website.”
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.
