I helped to run a consumer forum for Zoomf.com last week. Poppy’s written it up here. I had a great time, and it’s always incredibly useful to listen to first hand comment. The group was young and skewed toward rented property, which means it’s not 100% representative, but it was terrific to hear the things they liked (simplicity, speed) and the things they wanted (trade secrets, of course!) 2 things that surprised me: the group is hardly using the mobile web at all, saying it’s still too slow and expensive, and how much they were using the web. Hardly any TV, hardly any print, they were all using the Internet for something like 6-10 hours per day.
And of course Facebook was the website none of them could do without.
I’d like to echo Zoomf’s thanks to the participants: I had a really good time and learned a lot.
