It's important to realize that as we continue to build these outlets and channels of communications and branding in the online world, that online world is continue to grow as advanced technology and time brings that large group slowly to "our world" -- in the meantime though Tyler, yes, it seems that what we CAN do is focus on the massive amounts of people that are already connected, and what they teach us (through trail and error) about what they use, what they like, and how things work best for them to be connected. Great thoughts from all, I apprecaite your feedback and discussion! I agree Eric.

I think we do need to worry about people without internet access...even if it's purely based on a volume opportunity. There's 6.6bn people, and about 1.5bn users (http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm). 5bn customers waiting for some barriers to clear. Whatever the barriers are out there preventing the 5bn group from accessing the net, over time economies of scale (at least) will meet those barriers. We still need to respect this group for its sheer size outside of the web sphere, and always be accommodating in the way we develop software to ensure that when they become users, we've made it easy for them to hop on board. So my short answer to your question...yes we do. All the best. eric imbs. Hi Tyler.

You're absolutely right so I've stuck that information in there as well so it doesn't misrepresent. Thanks for pointing that out! And yes I thought the talk radio analogy was a great one as well! Andrea,

Baker Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:00:43 +0000 http://taylorgraves.wordpress.com/?p=109#comment-18 I find there is a flaw with the survey and the numbers they site, its not your fault for quoting them. The survey was conducted online. There are many adults in the US still without computer access, let alone email or if they do have email check it regularly. The analogy to talk radio is dead on, you can see the hits on your blog with the people visiting and reading, but not all of them will "call in".
