Singapore among region's heaviest Web users
By Herdiman Supian, TODAY | Posted: 10 July 2007 1201 hrs



SINGAPORE - A study of Internet behaviour in the Asia-Pacific region revealed that Singaporeans spent more time and viewed more pages than the regional average.

Netizens from the Republic, on average, visited the Internet 15.5 days a month and spent 25.7 hours viewing 2,406 pages, compared to the regional figures of 13.8 days, 20.2 hours and 2,171 pages.

The World Metrix study in May done by comScore, an online research firm, compared Internet usage across 10 economies, with Internet penetration rates ranging from 3 to 65 per cent.

The greatest rate of online activity came from South Korea, with 65 per cent of its population going online. It was followed by Australia and New Zealand.

Singapore’s online penetration rate was 58 per cent.

While China had the largest online population, or 91.5 million people, this only made up 9 per cent of the country’s population — giving it a low Internet penetration rate. Along with Japan and South Korea, the three countries accounted for 60 per cent of the region’s Internet population.

The Asia-Pacific makes up a third of the world’s online population, said comScore.

Yahoo’s websites were the most popular in the region, with Microsoft and Google trailing close behind. - TODAY/fa

人情味不是偏私而是博爱，

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌，

I'm not surprised. In fact, some time back, I've already made a post in my blog that Singapore has the largest internet penetration rate in Asia.

I always believe that Internet is the way to go for commerce.

Right now, we can still say that the older generation don't know how to use the internet. But in 10 years time, the older generation will be considered as tech-savvy as the younger generation. And then, the silver hair generation will be another nich market to target on.
