On the Internet, I'm An Omnivore!

The Pew Internet and American Life project has released a meaty report about Internet use profiles and types.

I think I'm part of the 8% labeled "Omnivore" and described as:

They have the most information gadgets and services, which they use voraciously to participate in cyberspace and express themselves online and do a range of Web 2.0 activities such as blogging or managing their own Web pages

What profile describes your Internet use habits?  Not sure? Take this quiz.

Here's the summary of the report and link to full document.  Lots to digest.

The advent of Web 2.0 and the ability of people to use a range  of information and communication technology as a platform to express  themselves online and participate in the commons of cyberspace ? is  often heralded as the next phase of the information society. Yet  little is known about which segments of the population are inclined to  make robust use of information technology and which aren't. With that in mind, the Pew Internet & American Life Project conducted a survey  designed to classify Americans into different groups of technology users.
