Resource: Just Checking In: 4% Share Location with Mobile Device via Pew Research.
In its first report on the use of “geosocial” or location-based services, the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life project finds that 4% of online adults use a service such as Foursquare or Gowalla that allows them to share their location with friends and to find others who are nearby. On any given day, 1% of internet users are using these services.
FYI. This is something to keep an eye on. Will location sharing grow?

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 66% of regular Internet users instinctively go online to answer routine questions.
Ah, remember the good old days when you could argue for hours over the capital of North Dakota — Pierre or Bismark? — because no one can keep the Dakotas straight? Gone, forever.

Statistics: Internet Gains On TV As News Source

Resource: Internet Gains on Television as Public’s Main News Source via Pew Research.
The internet is slowly closing in on television as Americans’ main source of national and international news. Currently, 41% say they get most of their news about national and international news from the internet, which is little changed over the past two years but up 17 points since 2007.
Interesting that they don’t ask where on the Internet people get their news.
