  1. Hi Nihal!

    That's an interesting post! And a very valuable market study for the internet providers. ITs are really reaching everything and everybody.

    Congrats to Turkey for being 7th in the comsCore ranking. I don't know what we did when internet did not exist, lol.

  2. I'm curious about how the data is collected. Maybe it comes from the various questionnaires we fill out from time to time.

    Looks like Turkey is well represented.

  3. @ Darla: The data collected comes from the response who participated to marketing campaigns actively. The agency wanted to search the potential part who plays an active role in using internet and their kind of behaviours. So the survey result allows us to compare initiative participants as well as i/net usage success measurements among people F/M. Factors that are also considered in determining future success of a marketing campaigns.

    Should not we get surprised b'cus the majority of the population in Turkey consists of a very young ppl; appr 50% of the population is below 25! So result comes so natural: 26 yrs old young women as the most interactive Turk:)

  5. How interesting Nihal. Over here, in the past 2 years, we have developed a huge appetite for online news..and that's because the Govt control what is printed on the media, many times supressing the truth. This internet thing-y is really cool to research many things but one can get too drawn or attached to it...happy weekend Nihal...love/M
