>A new study by the Online Publishers Association has found that an 
>experience that “entertains and absorbs me” is the top driver of Web site 
>usage.

>The research project, the Online User Experience Study conducted in 
>partnership with Northwestern University, identified 22 experiences that 
>describe and define how people interact with and relate to digital media. 
>It also determined how each of those specific experiences impacts site usage.
