How a heaviest contributor to the Web 2.0 environment looks

The people who keep the Web 2.0 environment going are the ones who take on activities like upload YouTube videos, keep blogs, and tag articles with a missionary zeal. Such people are the heaviest contributors to the Web 2.0 environment.


According to a study, the basic traits of a heaviest contributor to the Web 2.0 environment are:

--They are young(average age 33).

-- Outside the middle class

-- There’s 50-50 likelihood of them being a man or a woman.

-- Use more than one device to log on to the internet. Use smart phones and have no qualms about using public computers.

-- Live online

-- Like to blog and express their opinion freely if they found something interesting.

--People who make considerable money in the range of $50,000 and $75,000 tend to contribute less than their richer or poorer counterparts.


How the study was done:

--The study focused on Web 2.0 users who engage in many social media - uploading photos, blogging, tweeting, and file sharing, and so on.

--The report derived its conclusions from surveying 4384 broadband users, who are 13 and up.

--The survey was conducted in Sep-Oct 2008.


The profiling of the users is done on the basis of their contribution to the social sites:

Heavy contributors

—On an average connect with nearly 250 people a week.
--On one-to-many basis.
--Account for 7 percent of the whole lot.


Medium contributors

—Women outnumber men in this profile.


Light contributors
