>>> War blog? Una fetta del 4%

Una ricerca dal titolo "The Internet ena the Iraq war: how online americans have used the internet to learn war news, understande events, and promote their views" (l'intero PDF lo trovate qui) fa il punto sul ruolo dei blog in questa guerra sino ad ora:

There has been much early discussion about the role of blogs or Web diaries in shaping opinion about the war and allowing Internet users to gain new perspectives and sources of information about the war. Our first soundings on the subject show that blogs are gaining a following among a small number of Internet users, but they are not yet a source of news and commentary for the majority of Internet users. Some 4% of online Americans report going to blogs for information and opinions. The overall number of blog users is so small that it is not possible to draw statistically meaningful conclusions about who uses blogs.
The early data suggest that the most active Internet users, especially those with broadband connections are the most likely to have found blogs they like. In addition, blogs seem to be catching on with younger Internet users – those under age 30 – at a greater pace than with older Internet users.
