Americans Most Web-Friendly Culture

- US friendliest on the Web compared to British, Germans, French and
Spanish - Americans also most concerned about personal online identity and
critical of online material
Americans use the web more effectively to gain friends than Europeans, according
to new research released today by 1&1 Internet, the worlds largest web host.
Some 53 percent of Americans have made at least one friend online. In
comparison, Germans are the second Web-friendly, with 51 percent gaining a
friend online, followed by France and Spain, with less than half (47 and 42
percent, respectively) and lastly, the British with only 16 percent making a
friend online. The study of 5000 consumers(1) also found that Americans are the
most critical with 76 percent admitting to quickly judging others solely based
on online material (photos, blog entries, resumes, Facebook profiles), while
only 46 percent of Britons and Germans (74 percent) admit to quickly judging
online.
The 1&1 Online Attitudes Study found that 76 percent of Americans believe you
can make a reliable overall assessment of a person online. There was a clear
difference between Europe and the US on the issue. In the UK, only 46 percent of
the public believe you can make a clear overall assessment of a person online.
Similarly, only 57 percent of Spanish, 54 percent of French and 43 percent of
Germans agreed that it is not possible to judge an individual from their online
material alone.
Oliver Mauss, CEO 1&1 Internet Inc, said, It appears that Americans are leading
the pack in using the Internet for social purposes. Based on the Americans
success in achieving friends via the web, a persons online identity may be a
reliable way to make an evaluation for a relationship. Therefore, it is highly
recommended to use a controllable way to display personal material online for
accurate representation, such as with a personal website.
Reflecting the degree to which Americans judge each other online, the US public
is more concerned over the issue of their own personal online identity than
Europeans. 77 percent of Americans admit to having concerns about how they may
appear online, compared to half of Britons (49 percent), 45 percent of Germans,
44 percent of French and only 38 percent of Spanish. The research suggests that
the more seriously a nation takes personal online material, the more success its
residents enjoy in establishing meaningful online relationships.
