GVU's Sixth WWW User Survey Author Graphs

Why Do You Create Web Pages

Notes:

This was a new question for this survey. Respondents could choose more than one answer.

More than half of respondents (56.6%) create web pages in support of one of their hobbies. 48.7% said they created web pages just because it was fun. 68.9% of respondents said that they created web pages as a major or minor part of their job. European authors were less likely to create pages for a hobby or for fun and were more likely to create them as part of their job.
