The Internet has become an integral part of work life, personal life, and even social life in most parts of the world. Despite frequent news stories about a burgeoning world of online developments, until now there has never been a single reference volume that synthesizes the threads of global Internet activity into an easy to read, comprehensive report, making it an indispensable reference tool for any marketer, Web site publisher, or investor who needs to understand how the Internet is being used, what online trends are emerging across categories and across countries, and where future growth indicates new online investment opportunities exist.

The 80-page report also includes the first look into a number of worldwide markets, including China, Japan, and India, and covers online activities such as search, email, social networking, entertainment, gaming, news, among others.

"This is a great paper," said Joe Schoendorf, General Partner at Accel and strategic partner of the World Economic Forum. "In many ways, comScore is tracking the economic heartbeat of the globe."
