More and more wasting their time on blogs

Well, that's not exactly what I mean. The latest Pew Internet survey finds that 27 percent of Internet users, or over 32 million people, are blog readers. But of that 27 percent, only five percent are using RSS aggregators or newsreaders to read blogs. That means 22 percent of Internet users are spending too much time on weblogs -- newsreaders are definitely the way to go.

Another interesting correlation of this survey with the recently published 2005 List of Banished Words -- in the survey, only 38 percent of Internet users knew what the term "blog" means, and it's listed on the list of banished words because "many who nominated it were unsure of the meaning."
