Some bloggers spend a lot of effort honing individual posts, while some do a lot of “one offs” in response to rapidly changing events. A limiting form of the latter is “live blogging,” essentially reporting in real time during a meeting, demonstration or particular event. In this sense blogging isn’t very different than print journalism.

The most important thing the study focused on was the influence that blogs enjoy over their audiences in making people trust the ads they display on the blogs and trust their words when considering purchase of a product. And of course this was of particular interest to the blogosphere as we felt kind of flattered when we were told that we actually enjoyed some influence. But there was one question in the survey that seemed to be overlooked in our reviews since bloggers tend to use the short summaries of studies instead of reading the entire documents. That question was about the percentage of people who read blogs at all.
