2001 UCLA Internet Census
Merry_B.Buck writes: "UCLA's Center for Communication Policy has finished
its second annual survey on Internet usage.
Some interesting claims: online shoppers believe prices
are lower in brick-and-mortar stores, and experienced Interneters are less likely
to use chatrooms, play games, and download music than their newbie counterparts. An
unrelated
report from Forrester Research claims that
Internet newcomers tend to gather at LookSmart and
MSN portals, while old-timers prefer InfoSpace and
Yahoo. [I'm suspicious of both surveys -- neither had a
Cowboy Neal option.]"
MSN
/. for lameness....
Looksmart
InfoSpace
Yahoo
Personally, my portal is Google for searching, Mutt and Sendmail for messaging, and
Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
