What blog topics are most popular?
October 12th, 2006A new study on blogging shows that technology, culture and political blogs are very popular in the United States.
In the list of the top 100 blogs in the United States, 34 are about technology, 26 cover culture and 25 deal with politics. Personal blogs accounted for only 3 of the top 100 - far lower than in other countries.
The report also states:
Technorati ranks blogs based on the number of sites linking to a blog within the previous six months. It estimates that the total number of blogs at over 56 million, with over 1.2 million posts written daily.
Only 1.2 million daily posts? That isn't an overwhelming number. If you haven't started blogging but want to become an expert on a subject that you love, start blogging. You'll meet some great people, become a better writer, and learn a lot in the process as you look for things to write about.
There aren't that many great blogs yet, so it's not too late to start.

But what if your personal blog is always technical in nature? (like for many of us nerdy people?)
Anyway, I have BOTH; a technical blog and a mostly-non-technical blog:

For me, I find that blogging is a great way to force myself to keep up with all the news.
Not only that, when I want to find out what is going on I have a great time reading other peoples' blogs. It literally becomes an ongoing conversation.
