The opportunity to create your own blog with little funding or technical ability has been around for some time now. I wanted to find out why people enjoy ‘their place on the Internet‘ and become a blogger?

  • Technorati says 133 million (June 2008)
  • comScore MediaMetrix says (August 2008)
  • eMarketer says 22.6 million are US bloggers (May 2008)
  • Universal McCann says 184 million people worldwide have a blog (March 2008). They also say that 77% of active Internet users read blogs.
