Where are all the woman bloggers? Right here.
Weblogs—more usually referred to as ‘blogs’—are arguably the most significant indicator of online activity today, and a recent survey has found that men and women share the ‘blogosphere’ rather equitably.
“While earlier there were more men blogging, now there is a tie,” says Lee Rainie, Project Director at The Pew Internet and American Life Project, a Washington DC-based NGO that regularly conducts surveys on trends in the use of Internet. This comment is based on a random telephone survey of 2,000 people that Pew Project had conducted in January-February this year in the US. The survey found as many women writing blogs as men.
Very cool to see some of the blogs I read regularly (including Cara’s Reproductive Rights Blog, One Good Thing, and BlogSheroes) mentioned in the article. And even cooler to see that the feminist bloggers got their due. Also exciting to see Feministe mentioned in a paper out of Chandigarh, India.
How cool!
But now I’m all intrigued about the Play-Doh perfume.
Krista Kennedy is a fellow blogger — and I designed her old website! Kudos, Krista!
This just in — blogging mysteriously no longer considered cool.
