Some figures extracted from this report by Pew Internet & American Life Project enlightened us to the extend of blog awareness in America:
Of the sample size of 1324 pple,
– 38% of people know what a blog is
– 27% of people read blogs (representing 32 million, 58% increase since Feb 04)
– 12% have posted to blogs
– 7% of people own blogs (8 million)
– 5% of people use RSS
Wonder what’s the figures like if a similar survey were done in Singapore, especially if targetted at students. This figure can prove useful for our use of edublogs in teaching and learning.
