Bloggers, bloggers everywhere

Bloggers are continuosly in the news currently, for their reporting about the Tsunami, the assistance that they provide to victims - basically, it is the simple up-to-date mechanism and the ongoing interactivity, that pushes them into the spotlight.

Blog was the word of the year in 2004 but over the last week, more and more public interest was directed towards blogs by the media.

I mentioned Fortune Magazine's article just a couple of days ago. Now, more is coming out celebrating the blog phenomena.

ABC News says that Bloggers are the People of the Year. Naturally, they come in from the normal angle - talking about the blogger's role in the Tsunami and the shadow that blogging threw on the elections in the US.

And now, to top it all, reputable Pew Institue of the US sheds more light on the State of Bloggers and Blogging in 2004. You can download the report here. A fascinating write-up, worthwhile the time spend. It shows that the readership of blogs grows faster than the creation of blogs. What means that the so-called credibility issue is being solved - at least in the US, since blogs become a reliable source of information.

So when do you start your own blog?
