This blog is no longer updated.

Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.

If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve

Via Scoble, the Pew Internet & American Life Project (A non-profit research center studying the social effects of the Internet on Americans) has released a report on the demographics of Blogging.

Specifically, they identify:
- 8 million (of the estimated 120 million American internet users) have created a blog.
- Blog creators tend to be:
  • Men: 57% are male
  • Young: 48% are under age 30
  • Broadband users: 70% have broadband at home
  • Internet veterans: 82% have been online for six years or more
  • Relatively well off financially: 42% live in households earning over $50,000
  • Well educated: 39% have college or graduate degrees
- 38% know what a blog is, 62% did not.
- Only 5% use RSS readers or XML aggregators to read blogs.

Report is available here (pdf).
