In the interesting news department, the Center for Citizen Media: Blog has posted Hype versus Reality.
They cover that age-old (okay, months old, maybe – but that’s ages in internet time) question of who visits blogs and social software sites. A few of their findings:
- mostly young and male, especially those who visit technology-related sites
- very active in their use of the sites
- looking for “a fix of unique, informative fun†and “filling in the blanks†left by traditional news sources
- sharing what they know
- looking for and finding multiple perspectives
Hmmm.
Where does that leave the rest of us?
We’re chopped liver, I guess.
Blech.

*twitch* i heard about this somewhere else, too…
young? yeah, okay…
male? definitely NOT.
visiting technology sites? *laughing* i guess this is only funny because i know me…
i didn’t look at the article itself yet, but i guess i should, because findings like that make me wonder how they did their sampling….
