A Memphis Business Journal survey finds “Memphians hardly care for blogs.”
Memphis Business Journal asked its online readers last week if they liked blogging. Of the 106 respondents, 41 percent said they don’t waste their time reading blogs. 34 percent said they only read blogs on occasion.
However, 10 percent enjoy reading others’ blogs and 6 percent have their own blogs and post often. A surprising 9 percent don’t even know what a blog is.
Even more surprisingly, zero percent were unsure whether or not they read blogs. That’s progress!

What’s a blog ?

I think the time I spend on my own blog and reading others probably makes up for several of those Memphians who don’t. ;)

I wonder what the average age of their respondents happened to be? I’ll bet it skews 45+, which, even though it’s MY age group, is less likely to read blogs.

Since Memphians are not reading blogs, perhaps they would watch a live, in-person debate.

Heh! Thanks, Mike. I’ll be laughing about that one for at least a week.

They should have added a link here for those who don’t like or don’t know what a blog is. Maybe that would get them liking blogs.
