    Summary stats for Kiwiblog/PA/Scoop are available:

    Where did they get that info from?

    Readership demographics are incredibly interesting things that are incredibly hard to get a hold of.

    We managed to get a sample of Dropkicks readers and were surprised to find that a large number of them were women. And that we had a large number of non-New Zealand readers too.

    I also agree with Che about the Danah Boyd theory.

    "look! bikini picture! whoaaaaar"

    There were bikini pictures?

    How many of those think updating their Facebook/Bebo status is 'blogging', though?

    Further digging reveals that Pasifika have higher rates of using social networking sites and other evidence (that I don't have a link for, or even the document) suggests that they like to use Bebo.

    As I perused the report I was exploring the ethnicity effects. Pasifika seemed to have a high interaction with the internet (used it more often and for more things and it would be a big problem if they lost it) yet they also had the highest rates of interaction with family and friends.

    In fact overall, internet users socialised with friends and family more often than non-users. This may be affected by age and region but is still an interesting finding as it goes against the basement dwelling internet user stereotype.

    Ha!
    "What effect would it have on you if you lost internet access?"
    61% said it would be a "problem".

    I wonder how many would've actually said: "I would run around the house screaming"

    While there may be an effect of the average age [of Pasifika internet users] it's still a large amount of "bloggers".

    Oohh, I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

    Dumb question: was it 12% of Pasifika were bloggers or 12% of bloggers were Pasifika? (the report is giving me gyp to download at the moment)

    10% of us have a blog -- that's 400,000 blog nutters

    I thought was 10% of the 78% who used the internet, which is closer to 300,000. But that's total nitpicking.

    I was impressed with Pasifika blogging at 12%, twice that of Pakeha.

    What would call lesbians from Lesbos?
    Greek.

    Many Happy Returns Russell!
    May all of your lesbians be authentic*, all of your drummer fit and your cyclists highly defined.
