For an interesting Asian comparison, try South Korea's National Internet Development Agency http://isis.nida.or.kr/index_unssl.jsp. The site navigation isn't great and the reports are in slightly eccentric English but it was there I discovered that in 2005 "41.3% of Internet users have visited own's or other's blog (mini homepage), and 30.7% of them have own's blogs. Females use blogs more than male, and the age of 20's use them more than any other ages groups. This includes 57.5% of Koreans in their 20s" (which makes UK and US blog adoption look rather puny. Of course what they call a blog and the way that they use it may be quite different) There are several others in my bookmarks here: http://www.netvouz.com/ davidbrake/tag/internet+statistics including the World Internet Project http://www.worldinternetproject.net/ which covers several countries using comparable questions. --- David Brake, Doctoral Student in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/ mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunications.htm> Also see http://davidbrake.org/ (home page), http://blog.org/ (personal weblog) and http://get.to/lseblog (academic groupblog) Author of Dealing With E-Mail - <http://davidbrake.org/ dealingwithemail/> callto://DavidBrake (Skype.com's Instant Messenger and net phone) Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/secretariat/legal/disclaimer.htm
