Yep, I'm totally average, LOL, except I started blogging a little earlier than some.
Thanks for doing this Guido.
Now I wonder what constitutes these demographics. For instance, why would women be blogging more than men? And why east coast more than west? I am curious. And does this just constitute AOL blogs, or all blogs? I was under the impression that many blogs were written by young people. I know that's not true for the majority of blogs in jland, but I wonder about the blogosphere as a whole. If a poll were to be done, would the average age median be middle aged or a lot younger? And would there be as many men as women purported to blog? If anybody has ever seen any statistics please let us know!

I'm fit right into the average blogger then, except I started later than the norm.
Great idea & interesting poll Guido.

Very interesting. I wonder why there are so many bloggers in the Eastern time zone and none in the Mountains?? Very interesting. Thanks for doing this Guido. Val xox

This was fun! I agree with Krissy's questions? What's out there in blog land as a whole? To do a demographic would be mind-bloggaling (lol).

Umm... I hate to break it to you, but the only thing the poll shows is that the average Magic Smoke visitor is a middle-aged woman from the US and whatnots.

only based on people
who participated in our
own lil community...
interesting stats... for those that actually took the poll.... instead of throwing rocks after it's done. LOL Ok....... 'nuff said

This was interesting,Guido,thanks.
I think I recall participating in a Technorati survey not too long ago, that was looking for roughly the same statistics....but, true to form,lol, I don't recall ever seeing the results nor do I seem to know the search term to find them if they've been released.
