I spoke with a few people people within the age range of 16-25 just to find out what their internet habits were and their interests online. Across the board, the majority checked their mail first, then the social networking sites. I found that a hand full had profiles on more than networking sites. Once that was done, they moved on to their sites of interest.
Sterling Dennis, 17Automotive High School in Brooklyn
Sterling wastes no time in signing into YouTube and AIM before he even checks his email accounts (Yahoo, Compuserv and Gmail). He actually uses Ask.com as his main search engine. He has profiles up on Facebook and MySpace but his main interest lies in 75th regt.org and anime.com.
Nikesha Brown, 23Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering major at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Her internet ritual starts with checking her emails (school, yahoo and hotmail account). She then signs in to MSN Messenger, AIM, Facebook and YouTube. Nikesha also uses the web to do research, play Yahoo games, check her banking statements and of course shop. The shopping sites are but not limited to Wet Seal, Bath and Body Works, Old Navy, Forever 21, Victoria Secret, Aeropostale and ebay. Oh, she's also very attached to her Blackberry.
