Thoughts// An interesting summary of a March 2007 Jupiter Research/Ipsos-Insight report (209 U.S. online Hispanics and 1,900 U.S. online non-Hispanics). Highlights include:
- 66 percent of Hispanics and 72 percent of non-Hispanics did not contribute content online regarding products during the past year. (Note: This just takes into account contributing content, not using or being influenced by content)
- Online Hispanics are slightly more engaged than non-online Hispanics when it comes to rating items (2 percent more), tagging products (3 percent), and posting products on their social networking pages (1 percent).
- 5 percent more likely to blog about products and 6 percent more likely to post product reviews on sites other than a retail Web site than their non-Hispanic counterparts.
- Hispanic users are twice as likely as are non-Hispanic users to say they wanted to vent about bad experiences or warn other customers about products' shortcomings.
