Is it just me, or is the "daily internet activities" description a bit confused. Do 18% of all adult Americans really deal with their online bank "every day"? Or did they perhaps mean that the average user does it a couple of times per week?
I think it means that 18%, but a different 18%, access their bank online every day. This means that everyone has, on average, accessed their bank roughly every five days, or just over once a week.
That seems reasonable. I have accounts at several different banks and I access at least one account per week, if not more.
I was surprised by this too -- even counting MP3s as products, I don't think 5% of the U.S. populace buys an item online every day.
I'm actually quite surprised that Amazon is not among the top ten most popular brands.
It seems strange that Microsoft is in the top 10. They've separated out MSN/Bing, so doesn't that just leave the corporate site and MSDN?
The world is not just the USA, but interesting graph anyway.
2,646 sites per month visited. What? That's 88.2 per day! Did they get this figure by including RSS aggregation?
I'd like to know if the RescueTime guys can confirm or dispute this info. It would make a nice counterpoint.
What's interesting there is that 25% of internet users don't use search engines.
More likely is that they do use a search engine, but don't realize it.

For example, new browsers with search bar functionality etc.

What is a browser? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ
That's frightening.
For example, new browsers with search bar functionality etc.

new?

I mean the chrome bar and firefox equivalent - not labeled as a search bar, but it works as one. OK, not that new, but in terms of the internet, fairly new.
