user

... someone who finds, selects, borrows or buys something and employs, consumes, or otherwise utilizes it, for example, users of The Network. Users of the Internet are people who avail themselves of its resources — www.internetworldstats.com has Internet user stats.

user friendly

... something that is easy to use, especially when a novice is its user (see the definition of user above). The definition of user friendly goes one step beyond usability to indicate that something intended for use is available without unnecessary burdens, i.e., having unencumbered usability so as not to be discouraging to the neophyte or impairing to anyone who seeks to focus for the sake of time and efficiency ... and enjoyment!

Advertising media provides the perfect example of the deterioration of the general commitment to user friendliness as computer and television screens show more and more pop up images and messages as well as glitzy potpourri information presentations.

user group

... users who come together because of a common interest (see the definition of user above). The Network has a user group made up of member from its target audience.
