For All Those Who Have Said Blogging Was Just A Fad …

I remember literally scores of conversations over the past five years with smart people in various areas of business and the professions … almost all of whom were over approximately 35 years old … in which they were dismissive of blogging, for one or other of the various now-well-known reasons that blogging is often portrayed as demonstrative of human foibles, warts and the fact that not everyone is a well-read, thoughtful and considerate person when expressing themselves.

Here, via the Guardian (UK) is a brief report that demonstrates how far and wide the impact of blogging has spread.

I haven’t heard of most of those! Will have to take a look.
There is intense concentration of power and traffic in the blogospere. What might be interesting as well is to track usefulness to the non-50!
How many people are actively joining in, how long they join in, and why do they continue?
I don’t know how one could do that? Through technorati perhaps?
