Are people actually relying on information they find on Wikipedia?
How can one know if someone is reading the first line of a page and then going away to YouTube a minute later? How can one know if the average Joe understands that information they find online is very unreliable and questionable at best? Would anyone be concerned if average Joe thought a subject of a page is a criminal because of false information that has been posted? http://fleishmanhillard.com/2012/01/news-a...hasing-choices/ QUOTE Nearly half of those surveyed (42 percent) currently follow or friend a brand on a social networking site. While the reasons vary widely by country, the overall greatest motivation: to learn more about the brand (79 percent). Nearly one in five individuals now looks to Facebook to obtain information about a brand or product. Almost two out of three consumers surveyed use a mobile/smartphone to gain information on a brand, product or destination at least three or four days a week. Overall, 43 percent of consumers have played a game with other people on a PC, and 28 percent have done so using a mobile device. This year's Digital Influence Index produced a total of 11 key insights into the influence the Internet wields in consumers' lives. A sampling of other findings includes: Eighty-nine percent of consumers surveyed use Internet search engines to make purchasing decisions, punctuating the need for a strong search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. Group-buying sites are gaining popularity, with two-thirds of consumers claiming awareness of services like Groupon and LivingSocial – with 60 percent of those respondents belonging to such sites. When choosing healthcare products and services, 75 percent said they rely on online information. People say they tend to rely on what others write about others, but what is the actual ratio of reliance? http://nextbison.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/...ieve-wikipedia/ |
