Interesting Early Study of Blogs From 2003

I thought I’d start posting the occasional interesting link on the site in addition to the computer lessons — mostly links to something that relates to computers; in this case, another example of how things change so rapidly in the computer world.

This is a really interesting find – I just stumbled on this article and find it really interesting how it breaks down blog use and design in a very granular fashion.

From the perspective of 2010, it’s very interesting how much has changed in the mere seven years that have passed since the study is done.  I wonder, for example, what percentage of the blogs would have video on them if the same study was done today — amazing to think not even one in the study used video, given how commonplace it is now!

I also find it funny how the article consistently refers to the sites they studied as weblogs instead of just blogs — clearly the term was being used already as it’s mentioned in the article, but nobody calls them “weblogs” anymore (and I suspect a lot of people have never heard the full term); another example of how rapidly things change in just a few years.

Very interesting.
