More teenage girls than boys use the Net in Britain. This is the surprising claim of a new study by UK analyst firm Fletcher Research published on Thursday.

Director of Fletcher Research, Neil Bradford, admits he is "amazed" by the findings. The research showed that, although 60 per cent of all Web users in the UK are male, 61 per cent of users in the under-18 groups are female.

Bradford puts the results down to teenage girls' interest in communicating with their friends using e-mail and chatrooms.

Surprised?

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
