How is your weekend internet use different from your weekday internet use?
I am trying to analyze internet trends and culture. It seems that web traffic varies significantly on the weekends from the regular weekdays traffic. How does the way you use the internet on the weekend differ from the way you use the internet on a weekday?
Since I work online, I am on most of the time during the week. Much of it is for work, some is for my personal interests. I take the weekends off now, so if I am online it will only be for personal projects or just talking to friends on Facebook. I am online far more during the week than on the weekends.
Thanks for your input TheInspiredLife. I have noticed less traffic on the weekends. Weekdays are more for internet usage. Weekends are busier in general, and internet usage is more limited for personal projects and keeping up with friends.
I'm online a lot more on weekdays than weekends. There is a lot more to do on the weekends unless I'm working. The only things I use the internet for on weekends are to check my hub account (everyday!) or to look up where something is.
Thanks for your input Sadie14. It makes sense that you are online more on the weekdays. There are lots of things to do on the weekends, like going out. Hope your hub account keeps getting bigger and bigger!
I probably use it less on the weekend because I try to spend time with family and rest from the computer usage. I do check emails for anything important but I stay away from anything that needs a lengthy action or reply.
Thanks for your input Dianna. It makes sense to save the weekends for family and stay away from the computer at that time.
My house gets quieter on the weekend. My husband is home and will fix meals. Most of the kids have a habit of disappearing on the weekends I frequently get more writing accomplished on the weekend. He likes to read ;I am out of his hair and not asking him to do anything if I am writing.
Thanks for your input tirelesstraveler. You are able to write more during the weekends, so you are not spending as much time surfing the net.
I find I spend less time on the computer during the weekends than I do during the week. We are usually busy doing family stuff on the weekends. When I do use the computer on the weekend, I am much more likely to spend my time browsing and reading articles than working or writing.
I have been accustomed to traffic drops on my hubs on weekends, as have many others. However, for the past few weekends, I have noticed an increase rather than a decrease in traffic. I'm waiting to see if it happens again this weekend!

Is it just me, or does everybody's traffic dip drastically at the weekends (esp Sunday)?My traffic recovers again. But the weekend dip seems like a pattern. I guess it fits with my theory that most people access the internet at work or school?

Just a reminder - traffic often drops over this weekend. So if you see a big plummet, it's just all the people going away from their computer and into the real world

What time should a 13 year old go to bed on the weekend and on school nights?
by Holle Abee 13 years ago
Mine almost always is. Once in a while, I'll have a $20 or $25 Saturday or Sunday, but otherwise, my weekend traffic and earnings are lower than they are during the week. How about you?
