The importance of friends
December 21st, 2008I just had a quick flick through the latest results from the OpenOffice.org user survey, covering November/December.
The OpenOffice.org Marketing Project is always interested to know how people find out about OpenOffice.org?

So the answer is overwhelmingly “by personal recommendation” – 41.2%. Who is making these recommendations??

A clear winner – “a friend” – 22.7%. But the importance of friends to OpenOffice.org doesn’t stop here.

“Colleagues or friends” are also an important source of help – 28.4%, with the “on-line help” system a very close second – 28%.
And in their turn:

almost everyone – 97.3% – is happy to recommend OpenOffice.org.
Did you include a CD of OpenOffice.org in all your Christmas cards and gifts this year?
