GVU's Seventh WWW User Survey Author Graphs

Why Do You Create Web Pages

Notes:

Respondents could choose more than one answer. As with the Sixth Survey, more than half of the respondents (57.34% Seventh vs. 56.6% Sixth) create web pages in support of one of their hobbies. 49.97% said they created web pages just because it was fun (48.7% Sixth), and 72.69% of respondents said that they created web pages as a major or minor part of their job (68.9% Sixth). 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.
