Blog Readership Surges in 2004

Tuesday, January 4, 2005

The Pew Internet & American Life Project released a study this week that showed that blog readership in 2004 increased by 58%, with 6 million Americans getting news and information fed to them through RSS aggregators. The same study shows that there are over 8 million people creating web-based logs or diaries. However, the same study shows that 62% of online Americans do not know what a blog is. Blogs are online diaries or where Internet users posts their opinions, thoughts, observations, or whatever else they like to the world. The Pew Internet & American Life Project is a non-profit that studies the social impact of the Internet.

hey sara... speaking of blogs, i just thought let you know that my blog is only 132 hits behind yours. looks like i'm creeping up on ya- just thought i'd point that out, SUCKA!!!

If I checked my own blog as many times a day as you do, I'd probably be getting just as many hits. Get a job! Oh, wait, you have one that lets you blog all day...

Sara said...

Except that you use your own blog to bookmark everyone else's blogs, so that's what's up, mr. hitshisownpagerson. Bleh!
