Re: UKNM: Something for nothing

[Silas Denyer]

What _is_ interesting to see is how many sites people really do use very

often! Leslie can only name 5, and this is his line of business.


Some recent market research we carried out recently amongst city types

showed that whilst 97% of them had internet access and more than 40% of them

had done something transactional on the internet (such as purchasing

books/videos/groceries/etc.), significantly less than 10% could actually

name any site they visited regularly, let alone frequently!


I wonder if anyone has any more stats like this to throw into the melting

pot?
