GVU's WWW User Surveys, conducted by the Graphics, Visualization, & Usability Center, have received wide media attention, including the following selected occasions. Note: As of the 7th Survey, it's become almost impossible to keep up with the use of GVU Survey data by the media, so we've basically given up trying! Thanks to all of you for helping make this happen.
Excerpt from the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Communications Office prepared by John Toon summarizing 1997 Georiga Tech Research News:
Though many other research groups have now provided demographics information about who's using the Web, the GVU online surveys continues to be widely quoted because it provides comparisons to the early days of the Web -- going back all of four years -- and because it researchers stay on top of newsworthy trends. More than 23.4 million readers were exposed to information from the surveys in more than 119 publications [in 1997]. Most of these were mentions, references to the GVU survey and charts of its statistics rather than articles focusing exclusively on the survey. The publications ranged in size from The Wall Street Journal (1.8 million circulation) and PC Magazine (1.1 million circulation) to Auto Remarketing (17,000 circulation) and the Savannah Business Journal (5,400 circulation). The largest group of placements was in national daily newspapers.Recent References
