Teens migrating to Twitter

Twitter is booming as a social media destination for teenagers who complain about too many adults and too much drama on Facebook, according to a new study about online behaviour. It said teens are sharing more personal information about themselves even as they try to protect their online reputations.
Teens told researchers there were too many adults on Facebook and too much sharing of teenage angst and inane details like what a friend ate for dinner.
"The key is that there are fewer adults, fewer parents and just simply less complexity and less drama," said Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Research Center, one of the study's authors. "They still have their Facebook profiles, but they spend less time on them and move to places like Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr."
In the poll, 94 per cent of teens who are social media users have a profile on Facebook - flat from the previous year. Twenty-six percent of teen social media users were on Twitter. That's more than double the figure in 2011 of 12 per cent.
In what is likely a concern to parents, more than 60 percent of the teens with Twitter accounts said their tweets were public, meaning anyone on Twitter - friend, foe or stranger - can see what they write and publish. About one-quarter of kids said their tweets were private and 12 per cent said they did not know whether their tweets were public or private. More?

DEFINITION AND MEANING OF DOMAIN NAMES

                                        What did you really understand by DOMAIN? What is a Domain Name? A domain name is any name that you can point to a server. Thus! google.com , yahoo.com ,  ebay.com are all examples of domain names. * A Domain name can also be called a website address after it has been pointed to a server. e.g.  www.google.com is an example of a domain name that has been pointed to a server. Also, a domain name can

Generic Names Or Brand Name Domains?

I know that a number of people seem to think that your domain name really must be some generic name like "cars.com" if you are selling cars. Witness, for example, how much money those generic names are being sold for. But seriously, if you were looking for a car, you'll probably already have some brands in mind, and you're more like to try out things like generalmotors.com or toyota.com rather than just cars.com. For that reason, I personally feel that a domain name that matches your brand name is very important. The very name that you use to advertise your product is the name that you will want for your domain, because that is the first thing that people will try in their browser. It is also the easiest thing for them to remember, and whatever that is easily remembered, will be more likely to be tried out than the obscure domain name..... http://www.googlegister.com
