"Generation blogger" wierd survey

Have a look at this piece of reseach published The Guardian. Think it might be a bit misleading?

It says that "millions of internet users are now moving beyond using the web as a tool for shopping, information and entertainment and are creating their own content, downloading music and video and sharing photos online." Yes, can't argue with that. But the stats are a little on the sensationalist side. 

But the article goes on to say that one in four Brits read blogs, amongst other digi-facts. But the stats seem pretty skewed. What the Guardian should have said is one in for people who would fill in an online survey reads blogs. Now that, I don't find surprising. I imagine the kind of people that fill in online surveys are the kind of people that spend enough time online that they have read blogs too.

Thanks Antony Mayfield for the link

Looks like we both came to the same conclusions!

Thanks to Mayfield for the link, but presumably you can take all the credit for the typo in the headline?

If that's what gets conversation going, I'll even pretend I did it on purpose and leave it up there

good blog, you spelled weird wrong in your headline...

[Drew B]

Yeah I know. Mark said so. Remember? I'm pretending I did it on purpose. It gets more comments.

Up for a session of D&D, then? Apparently, that's not as bad as a typo ;)
