Blog
In my desperation to find a topic on which to blog, I stumbled across one of the greatest of them all, the blog itself. Here are a couple of things I have found out as a result:
· A blog is defined as: ‘a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites.’
· Allegedly, the term ‘weblog’ (from which blog was later derived) was coined by bearded gent John Barger on the 17th of December 1997.
· Peter Merholz is the man credited for the shortening of the phrase, in 1999.
· Creators of blogs are often referred to as bloggers. Around 66% are male and in excess of half are married. Interesting, given that 89% of Agent’s bloggers are male and none are married.
· Just under 75% of bloggers, do so as a hobby, meaning they report no income as a result of their blog.
So there you have my blog about blogs. If you want to comment, reply or even to tell me about your blog, please send an email to david@agentmarketing.co.uk
