In a newly-released poll, Gallup asked respondents, “How often do you, yourself, use the Internet to do the following — frequently, occasionally, rarely or never?” Sixty-seven percent said they use the net frequently to send and read e-mail, while 20 percent said occasionally and 13 percent said they rarely/never use the net to send and read e-mail.

Eighteen percent said they use the net frequently to shop, while 34 percent said occasionally and 48 percent said rarely/never.

And what about blogs? Nine percent said they use the net frequently to read blogs, while 11 percent said occasionally — and 79 percent said rarely/never.
