The latest in a recurring series of internet surveys is being dissected around the Net.
'Much of the public and press attention to bloggers has focused on the small number of high-traffic, A-list bloggers,' said Associate Director Susannah Fox. 'By asking a wide range of bloggers what they do and why they do it, we have found a different kind of story about the power of the Internet to encourage creativity and community among all kinds of Internet users.'
Cristiano Ventura, MSN Spaces marketing manager said: 'It remains to be seen whether blogging will take over traditional media, but growth in the next five years is going to be expediential.'
This is true. There's no indication that the growth is slowing. What does this mean? Well, too many things for me to go into here. However, for print and publishing outlets interested in harnessing and paying for blog content - and we now know there are plenty of those - it means there is an ever greater, more immediate need for the likes of ScooptWords to collate, filter and present the most commercial content for magazine and newspaper editors to select and purchase. So, nothing we didn't already know, just more impetus to do it.
