Web users are getting more ruthless and selfish when they go online, 
reveals research.

The annual report into web habits by usability guru Jakob Nielsen shows 
people are becoming much less patient when they go online.

Instead of dawdling on websites many users want simply to reach a site 
quickly, complete a task and leave.

Most ignore efforts to make them linger and are suspicious of promotions 
designed to hold their attention.
