Here's a quote from JKR that might give some hint, although no 
specific answer:

Q. Has Harry ever used the Internet?  
A. No. He's not allowed near Dudley's computer and Dudley's the only 
one who's got a computer. He gets beaten up if he goes too near the 
keyboard. So no, he's never used the Internet. I use it a lot but 
not Harry. Wizards don't really need to use the Internet but that's 
something that you'll find out later on in the series. They have a 
means of finding out what goes on in the outside world that I think 
is more fun than the Internet. Could anything be more fun than the 
Internet? Yes!
