Year of the blog
General, Site/Blog January 3rd, 2005
From CNet News:
Blog creators tend to be young men who have broadband and are Internet veterans. Fifty-seven percent of bloggers are male and are relatively well off financially, with 42 percent living in households with income of over $50,000.
Blog readers are more “mainstream” than bloggers themselves, the study found. The majority of people who read blogs are male and younger. But the past year has seen greater-than-average growth in blog readership among women, minorities, people aged 30 to 49, and those with a dial-up connection.
It’s funny because we used to say that all women on the Internet were young men. Now you can say that for bloggers.
Also, blog is m-w’s word of the year. I think I like defenestration better.
