Segmenting the e-market

McKinsey and Media Metrix analyzed on-line behavior using a sample of the most active on-line consumers in the Media Metrix US panel of 50,000 users to categorize six segments: Simplifiers, Surfers, Bargainers, Connectors, Routiners, and Sportsters.

Editor’s Note: This research was done in 2000 so I wonder if it holds up today; nonetheless the categories are interesting and I think of some value.
