Friday Fact Box - Online Tool Preferences
by Katharina Scholtz
So, I realise this is the third post from me today, and you're probably sick of it. There's just too much hapenning today! We couldn't go without putting up a Friday Fact Box, and this week the focus is on what online/desktop tools people like to use. I really had to scrounge around to find the stats for this one, but I hope you find it useful, or at least interesting. (I couldn't find anything on how many Outlook users there are, if you have some stats, please leave them in the comments). Ok that's enough from me, have a great weekend!
