Technorati State of the Blogosphere 2008

Technorati ha iniziato a pubblicare i dati della ricerca “State of the Blogosphere” relativa al 2008.

Al momento è disponibile l’introduzione e la prima parte del report “Who Are the Bloggers?“, che analizza appunto la composizione dei blogger, mentre nei prossimi giorni verranno pubblicate le altre parti “The What And Why of Blogging“, “The How of Blogging“, “Blogging For Profit” e “Brands Enter The Blogosphere“.

Bloggers Age and Gender

A differenza delle ricerche condotte ne passato, Technorati dichiara che quest’anno

Post generator per blogger pigri

Un’altra segnalazione dalla blogosfera australiana: per festeggiare il 6° mese di attività, Aussie Bloggers Blog and Forums regala il Lazy Bloggers Blog Post Generator.

I have seen it said around the web that a blogger should never write a blog post that apologises for not blogging – no matter how long it has been, no matter what happened to get in the way of blogging, you should return as if you never left. And now you don’t have to write the post – you can let the blog post generator do it for you.

Molto utile, soprattutto in periodo vacanziero
