Blog Survey

Lisbeth blogs about MIT Blog survey Findings over here.

Looks interesting - until this caught my eye:
1. female: 36%
2. male: 63%
3. undisclosed: 1%

Hmmmm......

Also, most of the respondents are white - and they attribute this to the survey being available only in English - what so non-whites don't speak English? What is that about?

Here is what they say about their "limitations":

"Respondents to this survey were not selected on a random basis. Announcements for the online survey were posted to mailing lists within MIT as well as on a few high-traffic blogs published by people known to the author of this survey. The viral nature of blogs meant that the links to the survey page quickly spread to many other blogs. Nevertheless, this does not qualify as a random sample of the blogger population and, as such, the results from this survey cannot be generalized to the entire blogging community; instead, these results are representative of the state of affairs in certain portions of the blogging world."

Yes - certain portions of the Blogging world for SURE! Men's blogosphere?

How about a survey that really looks at who is blogging and what they are doing?
