Sharing, Privacy and Trust in a Networked World
Note: This is cross-posted from NorthCountryConsulting.com. I'm trying to minimize cross-posts, but this report is so useful that I'm making an exception.
Fascinating and detailed (280 pages) report from OCLC (Online Computer Library Center). It provides information about Internet use in six countries; it is an update to a report from 2005, so it is able to show trends.
Here are the usage rates in the online population from 2005 to 2007 for various technologies:
search engines: 71% to 90%
email: 73% to 97%
blogs: 16% to 46%
Unfortunately, there's another statistic. Visits to library Web sites dropped from 30% of the online population in 2005 to 20%.
