Blogs, the CURRENT wave of The Information Revolution
I've been giving a number of speeches on blogging and refering to blogs as the "next wave of the information revolution."
Hogwash!! They are the CURRENT wave of the information revolution! I've been wrong!
The blog statistics are simply amazing: over 20 million blogs in existence, approximately 40,000 started every day, and as of 2004, 32 million blog readers!
Now admittedly, of those 20M blogs, many are no doubt abandonned, poorly written, boring, or irrelevent (e.g. there are some good blogs on "knitting," but frankly, very few people care.)
The most popular blogs get maybe a million readers during a good month - that's a lot! I get perhaps 5-10 thousand in a good month.
Blogs are seriously challenging main stream media and have emerged as serious business tools as well. This blog has been instrumental in selling a number of keynote speeches and consulting for example. Besides, blogging is fun, as is reading blogs.
Over 32 million Internet users can't be wrong . . .
