Despite the blogosphere’s rocket like growth over the last few years I’m convinced that we are still at the beginning of it’s development. My reasoning for this is based on the amount of people that I know in the offline world who are bloggers.
I know five bloggers in the real world.
Five. And that isn’t very many. Out of the hundreds of people I know personally only five of them are bloggers.
Of course, I know plenty online. But that doesn’t really prove very much.
For me, this is the clearest proof that it is still a great time to start blogging. Anyone who starts a blog today will still be part of the vanguard and benefit from all that this entails.
So, how many bloggers do you know personally in the real world and furthermore, how many of them can you call a friend?

A very close friend of mine happens to write a blog. He started with Blogger, once he was sure he wanted to commit, I set up a privately-hosted WordPress install and cooked up a theme for him. He’s a talented writer, so I figured it was a good fit.

Also, I hate to go off topic, but when I right-clicked the post title (to open it in a new tab), nothing happened. I ended up having to “CTRL + click” for it to work. A week or so ago, the scroll ball stopped scrolling down; usually it’s just a matter of moving it around a bit, but that didn’t work this time. Now, it feels like the touch sensitivity is waning.
Yes, yes, I’m still using a Mighty Mouse.
If it doesn’t get any better, I’ll have to replace it. There’s probably nobody better to ask than another Mac user, so… any suggestions as far as mice go? I actually really liked the Mighty Mouse, save for the ridiculously short cord and (what appears to be) short lifespan.
I have 9. I think that’s mainly because a lot of my friends post blogs via MySpace or Livejournal. Of that number, I would count all of them as friends.
I know only six. I wrote something about that in my blog. You can take a look at it, but it’s in Spanish.
I don’t know any bloggers in the offline world. If that doesn’t prove your point, what does?
I personally know 2.
8.
And they’re all different types of bloggers, mostly people just getting into like I am.
I suck as far as knowing internet only bloggers though. The count for those is about 1-2. : (
i only know 3 outside of the internet. I do know a lot of myspace bloggers, which i don’t count. i’ve offered to build real blogs for them, but no one wants to stray too far from the mayhem at myspace
