SA Blog Survey - RESULTS

“Blogging is set to become more of a mainstream phenomenon in the future, especially as better revenue models emerge for bloggers and as more affordable broadband access becomes available. With larger audiences, bigger communities and increasingly diverse participants, I would expect South Africa's bloggers to also make more friends, influence the opinions of others and mobilise other citizens to act, speak and participate, both on and offline.” - Matthew Buckland

NVDL: Broadband is going to boost the local internet from Warp .1 to Warp 7. And - excuse the pun - it's about time.

clipped from www.bizcommunity.com The results of Speak Up!, a survey of South Africa's blogger community by 24.com, conducted by imagineNATION Alliance, are in, giving a clearer picture of this group of ‘vocal locals' who publish their thoughts and opinions online, regularly read and post comments on other blogs, and meet other bloggers offline. While there has been some controversy over one particular slide of results, Bizcommunity.com spoke to qualitative research analyst Vincent Hofmann, also an avid blogger, whose overall impression is that it is a statistically valid body of research, implemented in a credible manner and delivered as such in a concise manner.
