Friday Poll: Browsing the Internet, the Web or the Mobile Web

When browsing on your mobile, do you call it browsing “the Internet”, “the Web” or browsing “the Mobile Web”?

After an interesting discussion at ForumOxford on one vs. many webs, I’m curious (keeping in mind that the majority of the readers of this blog are mobile techies) on how folks see this.

Related to this see Barbara Ballard’s essay how many webs? (Little Springs Design).

P.S. It is the 1st time I use PollDaddy and I’m not sure how it will work, on the blog or feeds.

    You need an “other” category. I never call it anything except for discussions like this, for work.

    Anecdotally, I think this is generally true. People are, at least on mobile, task-focused. So I am “looking up that movie,” or “finding out what is in a Harvey Wallbanger” or something else specific. Never “browsing the inter-web” or anything general or generic.

    Thanks Steven. I’ve added “other”.
