Some blogging trends in India .. based on a study 'Blogging India: An MSN and Windows Live Report' "A desire for self-improvement and personal development is found to be a key driver of India's blogosphere with a large majority of online users reading blogs to stay informed about world events. They enjoy reading about technology the most, followed closely by news and education. Elsewhere, technology content ranks low. These findings suggest that blogging in India
could become the "new fourth estate" with close to half the respondents
believing that blogging content is as trustworthy as those of regular
media outlets such as newspapers, radio and TV." Some statistics are available here. And the Economic Times has more.
- 14% of internet users actively blog Am not sure how the research was conducted, but the article seems to suggest it is based on a survey among over 1000 visitors to the MSN India portal. This is by no means representative blogosphere in India - not many bloggers I know think highly of MSN or go to the portal at all. Does anyone have access to the entire report and can you share it? We really do need some good demographic and behavioural statistics on blogging and online social networking in India.

And a bonus offer for me - he wanted to buy back my phone which is now almost three years old for Rs.6000 (approx 135 USD). Not bad .. I should have taken him up on it - little did I know I'd get the N73 so soon! Technorati Tags: N73, Nokia N73, Mobile Phones, Cell Phones12:43:20 AM ![]() |
