Correction: The number of adults who look for health information on a typical day was slightly overstated in the report, Online Health Search 2006. The correct estimate is that 7% of [health seekers], or about [8 million] adults, look for at least one of 17 health topics on a typical day. Previously, the report stated that 7% of [internet users], or about [10 million adults], look for health information on a typical day.

Correction: The December 2004 Pew Internet Project Data Memo titled, Virtual Tours contained the following errors noted in brackets:

Some [60%] of those who have broadband connections at home and [62%] of those who have broadband connections at work have taken virtual tours.
Unlike many other internet activities, virtual tours are not the province of young internet users. Indeed, [52%] of younger Baby Boomers (those age 40-49) have taken virtual tours, compared to just 37% of those in Generation Y (ages 18-27).

The corrected paragraph reads:

Some [65%] of those who have broadband connections at home and [63%] of those who have broadband connections at work have taken virtual tours.
Unlike many other internet activities, virtual tours are not the province of young internet users. Indeed, [51%] of younger Baby Boomers (those age 40-49) have taken virtual tours, compared to just 37% of those in Generation Y (ages 18-27).

Correction: Page 70 of Americas Online Pursuits incorrectly stated that, Online men are [more likely] than online women to have played games online. The corrected sentence reads, Online men and online women are [equally as likely] to have played games online.
