Learning more about blog readers

It begs the question to call this finding the product of "research" (just 15 people were included in the study) but a preliminary examination of blog reading habits undertaken by U.C. Irvine professors does yield some intriguing findings. I'd recommend reading it, not as anything conclusive but as a spur to further thought about what will surely be a growing part of our future.

A taste:

In other words, when it comes to some blog readers, keeping them may be much easier than getting them in the first place–a finding that suggests the importance of good marketing for blogs ...

One interesting finding: the blog readers typically professed little stress about information overload in trying to keep up with their favorite blogs. When they got behind on reading posts, they just skipped the old ones. (Blogs apparently are not like the pile of New Yorker magazines you intend to get to–someday.)

    A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin verb "celebrere" but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. Another example is Al Gore, whose environmental crusade has elevated him to celebrity status. On the other hand, mass entertainment personalities such as soap opera actors or music stars are likely to become celebrities even if the person deliberately avoids media attention.
