Jupiter is reporting that email is the most popular application of the Net (93% of users), followed by search engines (79%), product information (63%), local information (60%), contests (59%),and news (54%). Newspapers were used by 46%.
It’s encouraging that local news and information rate so highly among Internet users. The broad variety of uses to which people put the Net still amazes me.
