Study: Blogging Still Infrequent

Associated Press: "Despite the potential of turning every Internet user into a publisher, relatively few have created Web journals called blogs and even fewer do so with regularity, a new study finds. Some bloggers indeed update their journals often, in some cases several times a day. But it's clearly a minority who are taking advantage of the blog and its potential to steer the online discourse with personal musings about news events and daily life ... A study released Sunday found that somewhere between 2 percent and 7 percent of adult Internet users in the United States actually keep their own blogs. Of those, only about 10 percent update them daily, the majority doing so only once a week or less often. 'The impression out there is that a lot of the blog activity is very feverish,' said Lee Rainie, the Pew project's director. 'That's not the case. For most bloggers, it's not an all-consuming, all-the-time kind of experience.'"
