Year of The Blog?

After being named the word of the year by Merriam( I guess the Tsunami came too late to compete)and ABC naming Bloggers as the People of the year there seems to be no stopping us Bloggers. It looks like Bloggers are the flavor of the season and have become an integral part of everyone-worth his salt- who is surfing the net according to PEW .
An extract from Pew's report -
Blog creators were likely to be young, well-educated, net-savvy males with good incomes and college educations, the survey found.
This was also true of the average blog reader, although the survey found there was a greater than average growth in blog readership among women and those in minorities.


Micro $oft too has been bitten by the Blogging bug ( its too late but is it too little?) and has started M$n spaces . Bill is touting Blog as the biggest thing to hit the net last year. Well its time we welcome Bill to blogosphere. The World will soon be divided into Bloggers and non-Bloggers . It will be this digital divide that will be differentiating us and them .

Though I have only one qualm with blogging on blogger.com and it is that the spell checker doesn't recognize Blog as a Lexicographic word . Its high time they recognize their error and realize their stupidity.

So until the "Next Big Thing" hits the net its THREE CHEERS!!! to Blogs Bloggers and Blogging
