While it’s still raining around LA, I thought this was at least somewhat interesting…
After writing yesterday a short bit about how a whole bunch of websites have been linking to my site because of the MotoCzysz pictures that I took in Seattle, I had posed a quasi out of left field question at the end. I asked at the end whether or not mainstream media - in this case the major motorcycle magazine - could have ever have fathomed a day when their 30 day delay in getting the news to the news stands would seem as slow and disconnected as it does today in this world of instant news on the net and bloggers cropping up all over….
So this morning, while flipping through my usual websites, I came across a link to a Yahoo News Story that in many ways speaks to this issue and to the mainstream mass acceptance of bloging:
“Apparently twenty-seven percent of adults who are online in the United States said in November they read blogs, compared with seventeen percent in February…”
The article credits much of the blog explosion to the political races during the year and also notes that Time Magazine even named its first Blog of the Year - in what I think is a weird blending of the past & the present. But the most interesting part of the article was the demographics of who bloggers are, according to Yahoo and it’s AP feed, bloggers very niche;
Blog creators tend to be male, affluent, well-educated and young; 70 percent of them have high-speed connections at home, and 82 percent have been online at least six years.
So I guess the bottom line is that blogging is not a real hot way to meet women… Who would have thunk it right?

I never expected to meet women by blogging but I thought getting an Italian bike might help (it hasn’t). Friends tell me that to meet women you need to ride a big ‘ol Hog. If I need to ride a Harley to meet women I’ll stick to my Aprilia and blogging.
