end of year culture roundup...

It's Christmas Eve 2005 and you're reading blogs. I predict 2006 is the year that the blog world sees lots of attrition. 2004 and 2005 were good years for the sport of online journaling...

The recent Pew/American Life Project survey says...
Blog readership has shot up by 58% in 2004
Eight million have created a blog
27% of online Americans have read a blog
5% use RSS aggregators to get news and other information
12% of online Americans have posted comments on blogs
Only 38% of online Americans have heard about blogs

Have a very Merry Christmas!
