The rise of the blog
Pew released figures Tuesday about American usage of blogs. Here are some snapshot statistics to share with your chief marketing officer in bolstering a case for creating a company or employee blog:
- 8 million American adults say they have created blogs
- Blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users
- 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online
- 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs

Is anyone offering suggestions for how a service oriented business can develop new clients, and appeal to exising clients, through a blog. Or, in my case, several blogs!
Blogs are an ideal format to provide clients and prospects a backstage pass to the inner workings of your industry and your process. Napsterize your knowledge and watch how what you share spreads virally to people seeking what you offer!
