The UK Internet market continues to beckon to fundraisers. Twice as many UK Internet
users are shopping online compared to a year ago, according to the second annual
Which? Online report [Are You Being Served? – The Growth of An E-nation?](http://www.which.net/upfront/survey.html)

MORI questioned 2000 people, both Net users and those who don’t use the Net, and
found that 40% of users had bought online in the past year. Women now comprise 43%
of Internet users, according to report, and 21% of all users are now C2DEs, double
the proportion of last year. Twenty per cent of experienced Internet users preferred
e-mail to other forms of communication.
