More African-Americans online
   According a Los Angeles Times report, a Pew Internet & American Life Study released recently showed that blacks in America gained Internet access at almost twice the rate of whites over the last two years, doubling their Web presence.

The report showed that 3.5 million blacks went online for the first time in the last year, with women accounting for 61 percent of first-time users. The report also stated they used the internet primarily to seek information about jobs, homes and spiritual material.
