What did they offer for breakfast? (I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm more

than a little curious.)

uhh, watch out for StatMarket... their numbers have a long and colorful

history. If you've read this list for a while you'll remember Nigel's

sterling detective work on some of their problems in plugin measurement

methodology... their assertions and curiosities do not end there.



For the original post, if you're looking for "growth of the internet",

"sales volumes" and such, then I would usually go directly to the search

engines myself. Once I found the general range of offerings for statistics

I could start refining my search to what I was really seeking. (Usually

when I search I *sorta* know what I want, but I don't *really* start

understanding what I'm looking for until I see all the stuff I don't want.

I'm just sort of perverse that way, I guess.... ;-)
