Editorial
It is now over five years ago that we
started doing market research in the Internet. In the beginning
our work was fun and easy. It gave us a great feeling of
accomplishment every time we got a new country into our
statistics lists.
Today it is not so easy to find new
statistical data. When we query the search engines for Internet
usage stats, we generally start running in circles because we get
referred back to ourselves (IWS).
We verify and document our sources, check
and recheck the numbers, give the reference source, and publish
the contents for free. Well Miniwatts Marketing Group is glad to
make this contribution to the Internet community of Academia,
professors as well as students who use our data, to the writers
that cite our statistical tables, to the smart journalists that
use our figures, to the market researchers that use our
information, and to the web surfers that come visit and find our
free statistical information useful for analyzing the
Internet.
Thank you and now enjoy your personal issue
of the IWS Newsletter for May, 2006.
