Over One-third (36 percent) of U.S. Internet users go to Wikipedia for information, according to a new nationwide poll by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. As you know, Wikipedia is the citizen-generated online encyclopedia that shows up consistently for so many search engine queries.

The survey also shows that Wikipedia is more popular among well-educated users than it is among those with a lower level of education: 50 percent of those with at least a college degree consult the site, compared to only 22 percent of those with a high school diploma. Naturally, it’s popular with students: 46 percent of users aged 18 and older who are full- or part-time students have used Wikipedia, compared to 36 percent of the general Internet population. For more details, you can read and download the study here. It’s only 7 pages.

BTW, you can find Top Ten Wholesale and JP Communications in Wikipedia, and we’re currently working on getting WholesaleU, OffPrice Network and Shopzilla in there, too.
