Got a hobby? Use the Net
People don’t just shop, look at porn or jump from one social networking site to another on the Web, a study released today by the Pew Internet Project says.
Fully 83 percent of online Americans search the Internet for information on their hobbies; 29 percent on a typical day. Geneology, baseball cards, quilting, stamp collecting, taxidermy, you name it.
Yahoo took notice of this long before the Pew Project. If you’re interested, here’s a link to get started: http://dir.yahoo.com/Recreation/Hobbies/.
