Survey of the American Consumer: Part 2<br />

VII. Technology<br />

A. Internet and Mobile Web Segmentation (continued)<br />

• Netizens<br />

Netizens see the Internet as a lifestyle enabler, usually accessing it with their computers and hardly ever with mobile web. <strong>The</strong>y use<br />

the Internet as a social networking tool (for e-mail, chatting, IM, blogging, phone calls, online dating), as a personal shopping assistant,<br />

as an entertainment resource (for games or gambling, visiting a TV website or looking at listings, radio programs and downloading just<br />

about anything digital) and as an information source (especially for general and sports news, employment ads and when researching<br />

for an automotive purchase).<br />

• Mobi-Essentials<br />

Mobi-Essentials are digital enthusiasts, similar to Netizens but with the urgency bar pushed up a few notches. <strong>The</strong>y do everything that<br />

Netizens do on the Internet, and more: making personal and business purchases and travel plans, obtaining financial information,<br />

tracking investments, trading stocks and bonds. Mobi-Essentials have a pressing need for timely information, and often rely onthe<br />

mobile web for breaking news, sports, weather and financial information.<br />

• Mobi-Xplorers<br />

Mobi-Xplorers are leading the way into the digital frontier, taking full advantage of the Internet and faithfully adopting new mobile<br />

applications as they emerge. Mobi-Xplorers do more things, more frequently, on mobile web—including downloading and<br />

streaming live TV, using mobile mapping services and visiting local information sites—than any other segment of American consumers.<br />
