Re: Interesting 2+2 stats:
Bob what are you talking about, we're referring to the stats linked in the OP.
If you look at those stats, 2p2 is way above average for income and way below average for education. So your argument that we're actually pretty average is kind of moot.

Do you mean education with regards to age (i.e. lots of dropouts) or do you mean education as an absolute value? In that case, the relatively poor showing of college graduates compared to the internet average is likely due to the age demographics of 2+2 (mostly college students, once they graduate they have jobs and don't frequent as much). I have mixed feelings about that site because the comparison to the internet average is a really good metric, but causes so many people to misunderstand what the numbers mean. edit: In fact, you could easily make the argument that 2+2 visitors are much more educated than the internet average in every given age bracket. The Graduate+ degree bracket cannibalizes the College degree bracket both in absolute terms (those with both graduate and undergraduate degrees count as graduate), and relative terms (every gain the graduate sector makes in terms of 2+2 viewership consequently reduces the college share). Furthermore, the high level of those without a college degree is easily explain by age skewing (tons of visitors still in college).

Re: Interesting 2+2 stats:
mason - i don't put that much stock in the stats they have listed.
Where the hell do they get all the info about income/race in the first place? Does this site know my income/race/education-level somehow?

Re: Interesting 2+2 stats:
To be honest I'm not really surprised at the results. I would be interested to learn how this information is compiled though. It would give us a better clue as to how accurate this information is.
75% of the people in this thread fail at graph reading.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's curious how they are able to compile such data and would also like to know how accurate it is. It's not like they are going to go reading through the threads on here to find the occasional situation where you, me or somebody else mention our age/income/education/race I wouldn't think. So do they magically know that I'm a 36-year-old white-guy in some other way? Did they eventually learn this just from scanning through a bunch of different posts of mine? Do they only have such stats for a handful of 2+2'ers and don't really know anything about me? Does it say somewhere on their website how they compile these stats? (I'm too stupid and unmotivated to find it myself)
