A Bit about Blogging

A few beautiful "nuggets" from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, as per a phone phone survey of 7,012 people they recently conducted:

39% of US internet users read blogs (that's 57 million Americans to you & me)...hopefully that includes this Analytics blog!
8% of US internet users write a blog (that's 12 million Americans, thank you very much!)...and half of bloggers are under the age of 30

Thirsty for more? Ok, here you go:

37% of bloggers are blogging about their "life and expereinces" vs 11% that write about public issues
60% of bloggers are caucasion (that contrasts a bit with 74% of US web users being caucasian)
55% of bloggers use a psuedonym
44% of bloggers publish content elsewhere while 54% report they do not provide their content/creations elsewhere
Male bloggers outrank females, but just slightly: 54% of bloggers are men vs 46% being female

See you again next week!
