Americans are going online to find information about religion, advertisers are beginning to capitalize such interest serving target ads. The unusual news is report on MediaPost quoting the results of a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project: 64 percent of the nation's 128 million Internet users have used the Web for spiritual and religious purposes. I especially liked the comment of Steve Waldman CEO of Beliefnet.com who said:
"The Internet is not only good for stocks, banking, and porn. It's also good for spirituality."
And mobile devices work even better: did you can get a daily Pope message deliverd to your mobile phone? Business is business, even if we talk about spirituality...
