How big is your www

MBnet reports (in Finnish though) the lately statistics on use of www in Finland. The two biggest sites - mtv3.fi and msn.fi - both had nearly 800 000 visits a week of which only 128 000 visited both. The figures reveal that majority of the folks have very personal "taste" on the www.

I've done a bit of research myself over the last couple of months asking people about their habits online. It seems that most of us settle with world wide web that's 20sites wide - in total. The ordinary story is that you go online, check out the "home", click into the two favorite sites to see that there's nothing worthwhile - then there's a deep breath-out - and you go - "hmm... ...what then... ...oh, I haven't been to that site for a long time..." ...a click and there you are. That's when the most of us go back to "home", to see that it has not been updated since the last visit 5mins ago, and we go offline with a headache thinking that what's the thing with the stupid www.

So instead of the megalomaniac whole world wide www, we could as well have a couple of good sites, perhaps stored in our computer... like it would have been in the good old days when the whole town had three tv's that showed one channel from 5-7pm, and everybody was happy.

cheese... maybe i should write to some engineer who plans all this stuff...
