No Such Things As "Average"


The issue with "averages" is that they often obscure more than they illustrate. Look at demand for enhanced mobile features, for example, as this Yankee Group chart suggests. There are lots of features, interesting to lots of users, but no one app that really distinquishes itself from the others because "everybody" wants it. There are lots of potential ways to personalize usage; to create services tailored to lots of different user groups; to add value and create revenue. "Average" user? Fuhgedaboutit.
