Report: Who's blogging and how

October 9, 2003

According to Perseus Development Corp.'s random survey of 3,634 blogs on eight blog hosting services, there are currently about 4.12 million blogs on the Net. Of those, however, 2.72 million have either been temporarily or permanently abandoned. Perseus found that 56% of bloggers are women, representing 2.31 million blogs.

Perseus surveyed blogs on the following hosting services: Blog-City, BlogSpot, Diaryland, LiveJournal, Pitas, TypePage, Weblogger and Xanga. As for the age of bloggers, Perseus finds that over one-half of bloggers are between the ages of 13 and 19. Following this age group, 39.6% of bloggers are between the ages of 20 and 29, representing over 1.6 million blogs.

Perseus projects that there will be over 5 million blogs by the end of this year, and over 10 million by the end of 2004. The National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NTLE) estimates that there were roughly 1.3 million blogs worldwide as of last month.
