People Getting More Comfortable With
Online News 06/02/2004 02:41 AM
It appears, not surprisingly, that a very large percentage of Americans use the internet to read news - however, many claim that it hasn't subtracted from their use of other sources of news. Of course, the most popular "news" to check online is the weather - which some may not really consider news. Still, many people do check their national news online, though they tend to stick to traditional sources (such as their ISP's home page or their local newspaper's website). Again, this shouldn't be that surprising. There is a reason the mainstream is called the mainstream. What will be more interesting, however, is how these numbers continue to change over time, and whether or not readers become more comfortable with non-traditional sources (or if their own traditional sources start including more information from other non-traditional sources) and how that changes our perception of the news.

Lots More People Shop Offline, Buy
Online 09/23/2004 03:21 AM
Last year, people ripped me to shreds for mentioning there were times that I would window shop in a store, but eventually buy online. Well, if that's as evil as people made it out to be, it appears I'm in some good company. A new study says that nearly 70% of people now admit to doing some offline browsing, before purchasing online. The thing is, to me, it's no different than comparison shopping offline. If I'm looking to buy something, I may visit a few stores offline before finding a reasonable deal. Sometimes, a store will immediately offer a good enough deal, or a level of convenience or additional value that it's worth buying right away -- and sometimes not. Sites online are just one more place to comparison shop. At the same time, the reverse is true as well in some cases. There are plenty of times I've researched products online before buying locally at a store. Either way, it's clear that most people now have no qualms looking for the deal that makes the most sense for them, whether it's on or offline -- and both sides need to learn to deal with that.

New Study Says People Not Afraid To Shop
Online 05/10/2004 01:30 PM
It was just last week (wasn't it?) that we had a study (paid for by a company that wanted to provide secure transaction software) saying that people were going to shop less online due to fear of fraud and scams like phishing (which have nothing to do with shopping online). This week, thanks to some research paid for by PayPal/eBay we have a study saying exactly the opposite. It turns out, according to this study, that the increase in stories about these scams means that shoppers are much more sophisticated and careful about buying online, but they're planning to buy more and many feel the internet is much safer for shopping these days. In other words, you can't trust either study as both are impossibly biased by the money that paid for them.

People Want To Blame Anyone Else For Any
Illegal Activity They Do Online

People Want To Blame Anyone Else For Any
Illegal Activity They Do Online 06/14/2004 01:17 PM
It's already been well established in this "me first" society that no one takes responsibilities for their own illegal actions. For example, just a few weeks ago, we wrote about the student who was suing his university for kicking him out for plagiarizing. He admitted he cheated, but felt it was the university's job to have caught him earlier. This same logic seems to be catching on with any number of folks who post information online. A new study shows that many people feel that they should not be blamed if they put unlawful content online. While you can make reasonable arguments (depending on the circumstances) why they may not be liable, it's more interesting to look at who they do think should take the blame. 30% said the ISP should take the blame for not stopping the user from posting the illegal content. Another 15% blamed the government, who obviously has better things to do than running the country and, instead, should be policing online message boards to make sure no one posted false information. Finally, in the ultimate desperation move, 11% say that the blame should fall on those who accessed the content rather than themselves, the posters of the content. That would be a fun court argument: "Yes, your honor, I did post confidential corporate information publicly on a Yahoo message board - but no harm would have been done if no one had visited it! Thus, the blame, sadly, must fall on each and every visitor who caused the company trouble by looking at that content." Of course, with so many news articles claiming (incorrectly) that people are being sued for downloading (and not uploading) music files, perhaps we know where this line of thought comes from.

Latest Study Says People Sharing Fewer
Files Online 01/05/2004 03:42 AM
The recording industry is cheering about how the latest study from the folks at the Pew Internet and American Life project says that fewer people are saying they're downloading music. Beyond the obvious problem that this study only counts what people say they're doing, I don't think it's surprising at all. Of course people are going to be more cautious when there's a chance they're going to get sued. However, I don't see how this is a good thing. All they've done is annoy a bunch of people who should be their best customers. That doesn't seem like very smart business.

Shocker: More People Prefer Online Car
Sales To Dealing With Dealers 04/11/2005 03:31 PM
Can you possibly imagine that people wouldn't like going in to car dealers and buying cars from a profession that seems to be defined by its own sleaze? Indeed, it appears that the less sleaze-inducing internet route for buying cars is picking up steam -- with plenty of car purchases originating online. Also, person-to-person car sales have been increasing as the internet has aided that process, and cut out the need for dealers to broker those types of sales. Meanwhile, fewer people seem to be going to the old newspaper classified section to find out about car deals, as it just doesn't seem efficient any more. The car sellers are looking elsewhere and car buyers prefer going online and avoiding dealers as much as possible as well.

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

People Want To Yak In The Sky

People Want To Yak In The Sky 09/14/2004 02:55 PM
There have been plenty of stories in the last few months about various tests and plans to let passengers on airplanes start using mobile phones while flying. The basic solution involves a modified cell tower attached to the plane itself, to route all the calls through that tower, rather than deal with the problem of having phones hit many, many towers within range on the ground beneath them. However, many people seem to react with horror to the idea that the person sitting next to them could be talking away on their phone the whole flight, ignoring, of course, that plenty of people talk to their neighbors on flights already. Of course, with mobile phones there are additional problems such as the "yelling" that comes with mobile phone conversations (especially in a noisy environment) and the "annoyance" of only hearing one side of the conversation (which studies have shown is more annoying, probably because the side you hear is either on or off, unlike a standard conversation which may be continuous). However, it's still likely to move forward, as a new study shows that many business travelers would make airline decisions based on whether or not they could use their mobile phones on board. To make the study more useful, though, they should ask people if they would choose to fly on certain airlines if they included a "no mobile phone yakking" section as well.
