Gmail Users are Younger, Richer, Good in Bed

2007年2月-4月,GMail在美国的市场占有量增长到了17%,但传统的邮件提供商Hotmail和Yahoo Mail的占有量仍然是它的数倍.但GMail自然有另它骄傲的地方,据一份调查表明,Gmail用户群体相比Yahoo Mail与Hotmail,更为年轻和富有,使用GMail的用户年龄集中在18-34岁之间,其中18%的被访者家庭年收入保持在10万-15万美元之 间,而Hotmail和Yahoo Mail的统计只有15%和13%,含统计图片.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the latest stats show that Gmail users skew younger and richer than those on Yahoo Mail and Hotmail.

Gmail opened up to all comers in February, with Gmail’s market share of US visits climbing 17% from February 2007 to April 2007. However, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail are still much bigger by comparison, says Hitwise: Yahoo had 13x the market share, and Hotmail had 6x the marketshare of Gmail.

The good news, if you’re a Gmail user, is that you may be part of the elite: while Yahoo and Hotmail users are decidedly average, Gmail users tend to be young, have a high income, and be early adopters of technology. 54% of users are between 18 and 34, while 18% have an average annual household income between $100,000 and $149,999 (compared to 15% for Hotmail and 13% for Yahoo Mail). Another stat, probably related to the young age of GMail users: they’re more likely to be Facebook users than those on the other services.

As for performance in the bedroom - well, we kinda lied. In fact, the stats show that solitary Gmail users are far more likely to Google themselves.
