Greg Galitzine has an interesting post about a Pew report. According to Greg, "The Pew Internet and American Life Project have released the results of a survey entitled A Typology of Information and Communication Technology Users. The survey was designed to classify Americans into different groups of technology users so as to determine which groups were most inclined to take advantage of information technology as might be presented under the umbrella of Web 2.0.
You can even take the Pew Internet Quiz. to see which category you call under. Apparently, Greg is classified as an "Omnivore". I haven't taken the quiz myself, but after my Twitter bashing last week, my Web 2.0 score probably took a beating (assuming one of the questions asks if I use Twitter).
The report breaks down respondents into several major “subspecies,” including Elite Tech Users (31% of adult population); Middle of the Road Tech Users (21%); and those classified as Few Tech Assets (49%)."
