... call me grandma ? ... your average blogger is HOW old ???
Published on August 8, 2004 By mignuna In Blogging


i read recently some statistics from one of the ‘oldest’ blogsites on the internet. i am aware that it probably includes everyone who ever registered there, so i can’t vouch for it’s currency, as many of the bloggers 'registered' would be long gone by now, having jumped on the first blog site available then run out of steam shortly thereafter.

it is, however, a very interesting snapshot of the age of your ‘average’ blogger (if there can be such a thing as an ‘average blogger’) when blogging became freely available.


age distribution of bloggers – (figures rounded down for clarity)


15 150000
18 195000
21 120000
24 59000
27 27000
30 15000
33 9000
36 5000
39 3000
42 2000
45 2000
48 1000
51 0800
54 0700


the top 15 geographical locations in order of number of blogs are:

united states, canada, united kingdom, russian federation, australia, germany, singapore, philippines, netherlands, japan, ukraine, new zealand, finland, brazil, and israel

at the time of the survey, there were approximately 2 male bloggers for every female.

wonder how this stacks up (relatively) to our ju community ?. i am a relic !.

You're far to funky to be known as grandma Mig! I liked this article, it would be very interesting to see the comparison of stats here at JU. Even if it was just done of the top 50 bloggers or something. I'd say there is a pretty good variety here.

Ha! Good job there are plenty of strong females here huh!

This is interesting, as the ratio of male to female bloggers seems to reverse the ratio of male to female chat room users (females in chats tend to outnumber males by the same margin).

that's a very interesting point, gideon, i didn't know that. i have been looking at the ju bloggers and it seems pretty even on here as far as i can see. go the girls !

thanks for adding that, gideon.
