Dear Dr. Farber:

I thought you might be interested in some research that we published in
recent 
weeks on two very different subjects:

* On April 1, we looked at how people were using the Internet during the
early 
days of the Iraq war. We found record-levels of people going online for
news, 
relying on the Internet for news, and email activity related to news. We
also 
found some pretty interesting differences in Internet use between war
supporters 
and war opponents. The report can be found at:

http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/pdfs/PIP_Iraq_War_Report.pdf

* Last week, we took a fresh look at the digital divide and found that there
was a lot of fluidity in the online population. It turns out that many
people 
live lives that are quite close to the Internet, even though they don't
actually 
use it. Much of the press coverage of the report focused on a group we
called 
"Net Evaders" because they live in homes with Internet-connected computers,
but 
do not themselves go online even though other family members do. The report
can 
be found at:

http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/pdfs/PIP_Shifting_Net_Pop_Report.pdf

This message is automatically generated. If you don't want to be notified
about 
our reports in the future, please let me know and I'll take your name off
this 
list.

Thanks,
