Pew Internet: Pew Internet - Bloggers

Another great report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Some info highlighted in the report:

• Eight percent of internet users, or about 12 million American adults, keep a blog. Thirty-nine percent of internet users, or about 57 million American adults, read blogs – a significant increase since the fall of 2005.


• The blogging population is young, evenly split between women and men, and racially diverse.


• The main reasons for keeping a blog are creative expression and sharing personal experiences.

I know more and more libraries in the region are using blogs to reach out to your patrons. What kind of success have you found with blogging?
