"Frequent Updates, quick Downloads, and fast searches"

[Cliff Urr]

The post below is from a recent Educom summary about a survey of online 
users. Seems to me this implies a need for librarians, rather than graphics
gurus in the future of the web:

"NETIZENS ASK, "WHERE'S THE BEEF?"
Yankelovich's second annual Cybercitizen survey has bad news for Internet
entrepreneurs:  "There are widespread complaints about reliability, value
and usefulness," says a Yankelovich managing partner.  "People are looking
for a reason to stay."  The survey reports a drop in average online time
from 16 to 12 hours a month.  Survey respondents reported that the online
services they value the most provide frequent updates, quick downloads, and
fast searches.  The least useful sites included pictures, sound and bulletin
boards.  (Tampa Tribune 30 Sep 96 B&F5)"
