The State of the Blogosphere: Meet the Bloggers

Technorati had their The State of the Blogosphere 2009 study to try and analyze just who makes up this mass of content.

Interestingly, California has the highest percentage of bloggers than any other state. Take that West Virginia!

Also, the majority of bloggers according to this study are not virgins like we’ve always assumed. Most of them are married, educated and make enough to not live with their parents.

But what we were a little surprised by is the small percentage of bloggers who have worked in traditional media. By this report it’s only 35%. We thought it should be higher.

There were 17th-century scribes who got trained how to operate a printing press, right?

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16.
