Poll - First Website Open

In a recent poll conducted by me on Facebook, I presented the question: What website do you open first after opening a browser?

Here are the responses by percentage in categories:

Social Networks: 28%

News/Sports: 28%

Search Engine (Google): 22%

Email: 22%

These statistics are unbiased, but it should be noted that the survey took place on a social network itself.

My hypothesis before I conducted this survey was that social networks would be the most popular, but it tied with news/sports. It was important that the question be about which is opened first, because this could mean the category opened first is the most important. Many also habitually check their social media profiles for updates to events, groups, and other comments. This represents a huge change in how the internet is used and presented to the public. Social networks, according to this poll, are tied with news for an information service!

I cannot wait to see how Facebook and Twitter evolve, as well as new social services such as Foursquare.com or Meetup.com.
