What's a Blog
According to a new study I just read about on InternetRetailer.com, very few Internet users even know what a blog is. Even among the ones that do know what a blog is, most don't understand how to subscribe to an RSS feed.
I'm sure most of those people regularly read blogs and don't even know it. Which begs the question, does it really matter if people know what a blog is? Obviously if they're going to run their own blog it could be important...but I argue that it really doesn't matter for the vast majority of web users. It seems like there are so many blogs that are about nothing but blogging, it's like the blogging community is so obsessed with the technology, the content sometimes gets lost in the fhuffle. Hasn't the novelty of blogs worn off yet? Apparently not.
