Blogs Celebrate 10th Anniversary
Tuned into NPR this morning, listened to the following story about the 10th anniversary of the blog.
Morning Edition, December 24, 2007 · Ten years ago, the phrase "Web log" — which was then shortened to "blog" — was born.
In a week-long series, NPR takes a look at the evolution of the blogosphere and finds out who's blogging, examines the language and culture of blogs and how blogs are changing our lives.
According to Sreenath Sreenivasan of Columbia Journalism School, there are over 100 million blogs and 100,000 new blogs are created daily. However, he adds, most are read by only the writer and his mother.
100 million blogs and 100k a day sounds really high when you consider that the population of the US is 350 million peeps? If that is true, then most of them are really only read by the blogger and their mother. Hmmm, and my mom doesn't even read my blog everyday. She says that once in a while "she skips some days." "MOM!!!! how will you know if my LT changes?"
