Screwing around in boredom I came across this site for UM: Quantcast . Now they have stats on there that I just can't seem to figure out how they got... Like what race we are, level of education, number of children, who's head of the house, our ages and then all the lists of different movie companies/tv stations we like.

Just was curious how they got the infomation from UM and if the infomation was correct.

Link again: Link

It's based on the statistics of a few known users who have at some point entered these demographics and are being tracked by the system. The statistics are all given as percentages so they could just as easily be based on the demographics of only a few hundred people.

The figures are wrong anyway, the actual number of daily uniques is over three times larger than what it says on the site; there's no way they can produce completely accurate statistics without access to our server logs.

How do they know about everyone's household income?

I bet's it's them isn't it. They're watching.




I'm pleased to notice that Hello! appears to be the most widely read magazine.

Alright, thanks for the quick response, Saruman.

The White Wizard has spies everywhere. He walks here and there, they say - as an old man, hooded and cloaked. His spies slip through every net......... internet, that is. Knowledge is power, and if these stats are accurate, Saruman might have enough to knowledge to overthrow Middle Earth very shortly.......

I am not sure whether I should be scared or what

We're being tracked!?!?! *starts ripping wires out of the wall*

According to the site, I count as an addict

That's kinda cool.

The links won't work for me at all.

and apparently we can't spell either.

I noticed this as well, found it amusing that it was top search keyword.

ROFLMAO!!!

Forget the wires Glory, they are still tracking you

That's kind of scary. *looks for implants in PC and body*

Now I'm frightened
