Email from Idea.org
Just had a nice email from Idea.org - See text below
'The Internet has transformed how we communicate with the public, but there are still many challenges in making information easy to find. Since you cover web 2.0 in Silicon Ireland, I thought you might be interested in a study that my nonprofit recently published about how people find information online. The study covers three groups: non-profit organizations and cities; web designers and firms; and the general public.
The study was fascinating on a number of levels, and I invite you to read the executive summary or download a PDF of the findings at
http://www.idea.org/find-information.html
The survey results sparked ideas about tools we could provide that might make finding information online easier. In a couple of months, I’ll drop you a note about a new navigational tool that IDEA will be beta testing this fall.'
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Michael Douma
Executive Director
