Parents on kids’ Net use: Study

October 29, 2007 By Anne Leave a Comment

We're a little more ambivalent about our children's Net use than we used to be - but that doesn't mean more of us think the Internet is bad for them, according to a just-released study on this by the Pew Internet & American Life Project."While a majority of [US] parents with online teens [12-17] still believe the Internet is a beneficial factor in their children's lives, there has been a decrease … [Read more...] about Parents on kids’ Net use: Study

Teens & stranger contact: New study

October 17, 2007 By Anne Leave a Comment

More global-socializing numbers

August 3, 2007 By Anne Leave a Comment

Once you get past Tagged.com's and Facebook.com's amazing growth figures this past year (774% and 270%, respectively, with Bebo in third place at a respectable 172%), the worldwide membership of these sites is a little less jawdropping. But that international appeal probably explains a lot of these sites' growth. Friendster hasn't grown as much, but 88.7% of its members are in the Asia/Pacific … [Read more...] about More global-socializing numbers
