Internet business and home users flock to similar World Wide Web sites as a first choice. In a study of Web surfing habits during November, The PC Meter Company investigated top sites for news, entertainment, shopping and time spent at a site.
Examining 9,847 home users and more than 600 business users, the company concluded the top Web sites to be America Online, Yahoo, Netscape, Microsoft, Geocities, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, MSN and digital. AOL and Yahoo topped the list with 47.4 percent and 40.7 percent respectively going to the popular destinations.
Business users did not vary too much from home users. Yahoo, Netscape, AOL, Microsoft, Excite, Geocities, Lycos, ZDNet and Digital came in at the top. Of the people on the Web, 45 percent at least once during the month went to Yahoo. Netscape's second place showed 41.8 percent making a visit during November.
The top news, information and entertainment sites for home users included zdnet.com, Disney Online, pathfinder.com, Sony Online, weather.com, cnn.com, bluemountain.com, espn.com, msnbc.com and Warner Bros. Online.
Home users' top shopping sites included amazon.com, Cnet software download services, columbiahouse.com, cdnow.com, qvc.com, onsale.com, surplusdirect.com, barnesandnoble.com and musicblvd.com.
When home users went to sites they stayed the longest at careerpath.com, wbs.com, ebay2.com, country.com, monash.edu.au, amtrak.com, xoom.com, techstocks.com, parentsoup.com and rent.com. At the top, users spent 31.8 minutes at careerpath and, at the bottom, 14.7 minutes at rent.com.
