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.]"

When I was a newbie, all I did was chain mail, chat, play games, and go to flashy sites. Now that I've been surfing the web for 7+ years, I tend to play fewer games, block span and chain mail, only use messanger from time to time, and use Yahoo for all my searches. I don't know about you, but I seem to fall right into the experienced web users groove.
