The New Internet Activity Index (IAI) (August 26 2004) - The Online Publishers Association (OPA) announced today the launch of the Internet Activity Index (IAI), a new way of looking at consumer engagement online developed in connection with Nielsen//NetRatings. The IAI divides Internet usage into four distinct activities: Content, Communications, Commerce and Search. By tracking share of time spent on each activity on a monthly basis, the Index provides a benchmark for charting the relative impact of changing market dynamics on these segments as the Internet continues to evolve. "Since its initial use primarily as a communications medium, the Internet has evolved into a platform that supports many types of activities and many different business models," said Michael Zimbalist, president of the Online Publishers Association. "It will be fascinating to track macro-level shifts in online activity through the IAI and gain a greater understanding of the level of engagement online consumers have with respect to each of these key segments."

US Online Retail Sales Growing Strong, Estimated over 300 Billion Dollars by 2010 (August 14 2004) - US online retail sales are on a strong growth track, and will likely hit 316 billion dollars by 2010, a technology research firm said. Forrester Research pegged US online sales at some 144 billion dollars this year, and sees a 14 percent annual growth rate that would bring the Internet sector to some 12 percent of all US retail sales, from less than two percent currently. Surveys on online spending vary greatly, with differing definitions of the holiday season and online purchases. Government figures, for example, exclude travel bookings and some other services online. US government data showed 2003 online sales at 54.9 billion dollars, representing about 1.6 percent of all retail sales last year. By Forrester's calculation, online retail sales will make up seven percent of the total for the United States in 2004. Forrester said it sees travel
as one of the biggest categories, growing to some 119 billion
dollars by 2010, to be followed by home products (43 billion),
and apparel (28 billion). Broadband to pass 50% in United States in July 2004 (July 19 2004) Overall, in
July 2004 broadband penetration will pass 50% among active
Internet users in the U.S. Hawaii has the highest broadband
penetration in the US, while the Southeast and the Rocky Mountain
states have the lowest residential broadband penetration. This page features Health and Fitness News, Site Up dates, and general Internet News.
