So it has been a long 6 months, but it's time to actually start work on a blog. Which got me thinking; how many blogs exist out there on the internet, what is the average life of these and what is the average number of followers per blog?
Well the results were pretty interesting.
Approximately 2.4% of total internet traffic goes to a blogspot blog. To put this in perspective the internet is comprised of approx 1.8 billion users worldwide, that's around 25% of our worlds populations, which means that blogs recieve around 15million mouseclicks a day(averaging 3clicks per user). There are several million blogs that exist as well (approx 3.2 million). The average life of these blogs varied greatly, with mildly successful ones living for up to 5 years, and shorter, less successful ones, spanning the life of mere weeks.
So what compels us to create a blog? Is it that need to share our vault of knowledge with others, our musings, or is it deeper than that? Well suffice to say, it isn't. Blogs have the true juxtaposing design of creating intimate anonymity. We have access to that individuals true feelings and ideas, all with the click of a mouse. Blogs do what the internet is designed to do; connect.
The world is your oyster; the interwebs, your map. I know where I am headed baby, do you?
