AS ET reports that internet users in china are 220 million. when the US online population was estimated at about 217 million, according to BDA China, a Beijing-based technology consulting and research firm.
The majority of US Internet users think the Internet speaks directly to their age group.

Respondents over age 44 were far less likely to say that online content focused on them. Burst also found that starting at age 35, respondents felt that online ads were aimed at younger Internet users. Burst concluded that content providers and advertisers were missing an opportunity to target Internet users over the age of 34.

"The 55 years and older segment is rapidly replacing other media as the primary source for

Recently NZS.com enlisted the help of Nielsen//NetRatings to survey our fellow NZS.com community members and we’ve found (what we thought already) that we’re all a savvy bunch of Internet users!
There were a few interesting statistics that came out of the survey. One of these statistics that caught my interest was the metric that a higher than market percentage of the NZS.com community have visited an online auction site (15% higher than the market average) and even further, the number of us who have actively participated in an online auction is a full 18% higher than the market average.
Our deduction (backed up by these stats of course) is that the NZS.com community are a particularly savvy bunch of Internet users. I’m sure you’ll agree.

Google’s chief legal officer, David Drummond, testified that the company was looking at the Internet display advertising business with a “fresh eye and evaluating whether changes can be made to innovate on user privacy in this space.”
Critics say Google’s $3.1 billion acquisition of DoubleClick, an advertising tools supplier, may give the company too much power over online advertising. Google stores mounds of data on Internet-surfing habits of users and uses the information to make money by selling advertisements.

Search engines continue to evolve. Nowadays, the race is not to become another Google or another Yahoo, but rather the target of most companies is to become more revolutionary.

Internet users can take just one-twentieth of a second to decide whether they like the look of a website, researchers say.
Dr Gitte Lindgaard and colleagues from Carleton University in Ottawa flashed up websites for 50 milliseconds and asked participants to rate them for visual appeal.
When they repeated the exercise after a longer viewing period, the participants’ ratings were consistent.
“Visual appeal can be assessed within 50 milliseconds, suggesting that web designers have about 50 milliseconds to make a good impression,” the Canadians report in the journal Behaviour & Information Technology.

An expected ruling from the European Court of Justice this week will allow Internet users to avoid paying duty on cigarettes and alcohol. The decision to allow the sale of these goods online means that users will only be required to pay the duty owed to the country of sale. This may result in the Irish government losing millions in income from excise duty.
Ireland is the most expensive country in the EU when it comes to paying excise duty on wine and second costliest for buying cigarettes. In some Eastern European member states, 20 cigarettes can cost 75c.
In Fact, Ah is surprised that this story is not being given any coverage in the Irish MSM. Let's all get pissed.
