The Butt is no longer on fire its on the Internet

Buying, selling your name it can be done on the net. In toady's scenario it is more likely for a person to buy some thing from the Internet than going to a shopping mall and making a purchase. The psychology of a common man is "you get it cheap on the net".

The growing number of internet users is crossing new heights every day, just in UK where the total population is some where around 66 million, 40 million people use internet. According to the Natioanl Statistics, overall 40 per cent of UK households, or 69 per cent of households that had Internet access, had a broadband Internet connection. London had the highest level of households with broadband
Internet access at 49 per cent (78 per cent of households with Internet access). Northern Ireland had the lowest level at 28 per cent of all households (56 per cent of households with Internet access). It is obvious that it is not just the Internet connection but the speed of the connection is consequential when we look at the users and their behaviours.

I was really amazed how the intenet is no longer limited to porn and the most popular activity on the Internet was searching for information about goods or services (84 per cent). This was carried out more by men (88 per cent) than women (79 per cent). Women’s most popular activity was using email (80 per cent),
which was men’s second most popular (81 per cent). Of the activities asked about, there were only two, where the percentage of women’s activities was higher than men’s. These were seeking health related information and activities related to a school, college or university course. Telephoning over the Internet
or video conferencing was an activity undertaken by 13 per cent of men and 7 per cent of women.

It has become very important for every manufacturer be it 'Adidas' or 'General Motors' to have a mark on the internet landscape and drive the so called traffic to their sites. All this while I thought that traffic is on the roads and in the movie theatres, so does it mean now every one who has a computer and an internet connection is going stick his butt in his bed room????????????WTF is going on?????????????

Hey,Sam ..i read your blog,and i find it quite true to existence esp. because of the increasing popularity of "How things are cheaper are on the Net" but come to think of it,it has a contrary angle a swell i.e, You can easily Sell anything on the Internet as well
I mean,with Protection policies and bodies to govern trading over the internet,its quite safe for Home users (like me) or Commercial traders to do business online
consider,Ebay.co.uk, safe payment options, credit ratings, user reviews,et cetera...
anything & everything can be traded on the internet and believe me,this industry is growing 'big time'...
do let me nkow what u think
