Blog factoid

From the Pew Internet Something or Other:

• By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a key part of online culture. Two surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November established new contours for the blogosphere: 8 million American adults say they have created blogs;
  
• blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs.
  
• Still, 62% of internet users do not know what a blog is.

I think this means: If you are reading this, you are smarter than 62 percent of the other internet users.
