Blog-Splosion

The Pew Internet Project released a new study on blogging this week. Some interesting stuff: blogging appears to be growing by leaps and bounds.

• 12 million Americans, or 8% of internet users, are bloggers;
• 57 million Americans, or 39% of internet users, read blogs;
• 37% of bloggers write about their own lives;
• 11%, or 1.3 million, focus on politics and government;

If you're a blogger, you can complete the Pew Internet survey yourself online, to help them paint an even more complete picture. The survey is at: http://www.psra.com/PewBloggerSurvey.html

Thanks to the Pew Internet Project and researchers Amanda Lenhart and Susannah Fox for an invaluable report.

So, anybody have any favorite blogs, political or apolitical, that they want to talk about?
