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.
