There's that 10%...

From a New York Times article titled My So-Called Blog, by Emily Nussbaum (11 Jan 2004), in which the writer holds forth on blogging among adolescents (with a heavy emphasis on LiveJournal), we find the following:

Ninety percent of those with blogs are between 13 and 29 years old; a full 51 percent are between 13 and 19, according to Perseus [Development Corporation, a company that designs software for online surveys].

So that puts me in solidly with the remaining 10 percent. Then again, the paragraph in which the above statistic appears starts with the following lead:

Only five years ago, mounting an online journal or its close cousin, the blog, required at least a modicum of technical know-how.

I don't know about that, since I started my LiveJournal nearly five years ago, and it was fairly painless then (albeit not as easy to give one's LJ a spiffy look).

Natalie brought me home a little before 11 last night, whereupon I retired within minutes. I double-checked having set the alarm before lying down and woke this morning at 6 am, with the alarm off, and managed to quit the house within 12 minutes. Blyech.

I need some coffee.

Cheers...

Outlier? I'm completely off the chart (http://www.livejournal.com/stats.bml) ;)

Wow. I didn't know that page existed. It would appear that I, too, am a number of sigmas to the south of the bump.

Cheers...
