Survey Shows More Women Blogging Than Men

thefickler writes "The blogosphere has hit the mainstream, according to a new survey, which reveals that 80% of Americans know what a blog is, 50% regularly visit blogs, and 8% publish their own blog. The survey also reveals that more women than men are bloggers, with 20% of American women who have visited blogs having their own versus 14% of men."

Re:I'd belive the stats

I think an interesting follow-up question is, "does more talking in real life equate to more blogging?". Sure there's correlation -- I think most of us will agree that women talk more than men -- but I wonder if the drive is similar between the two. . . In other words, does the mechanism that makes women blabber on also compel them to blog more? If so, what is that mechanism?

Well, those stats are well done, but I guess I'm not the usual woman. I don't look for recipies and I don't look for animals. I suppose travel would be the remotely closest thing I could see myself looking for.

I actually get feeds from /., Homestar Runner, Penny Arcade Comic feeds, Kawaii Not feeds, some poltical journals (mostly socialist/liberal) and stuff from my friends and ThinkGeek on their new products up on the store.

You are right, BWJones, stereotypes are depressing. And no, sorry guys, I don't have a picture of myself posted in a bikini on my blog.
