Why Don’t You Just Go Home and Blog About it?

The Chicago Tribune’s article on blog usage is yet another mainstream acknowledgment of the popularity of Blogging.

Stats of note:

• 175,000 new blogs are created every day (mmm…SPAM)
• 12 million American adults = 8 percent of U.S. Internet users have a blog
• 57 million (39 percent) read blogs
• 55 percent of blogs are active, one new post in the last three months
• 11 percent of blogs, second-most blogged about topic, are about politics
• 37 percent of blogs are about “my life and experiences”

For those of you looking for a good primer for getting into Blogging, Robert Scoble and his wife outline Fifteen Ways to a Killer Blog With the Scobles.

She went to Robert and told him she had 40,000 visits that day, and Robert deadpanned and said “That’s because I linked to you.”

Nice one, Scoble. That’s just classic.
