Top 50 Most Popular Blogging Areas
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004According to this study (PDF), the location of BinaryWolf (suburban San Diego), is ranked as the 50th most popular blogging area. Metro San Diego is ranked 10th. The source of the data is limited (as acknowledged below by the authors), but interesting nonetheless.
There are two concerns about using self-reported geographic information in blogs: first, a considerable number of blogs (about 31% of the total) do not provide geographic information and have to be excluded from the sample; second, the authenticity and preciseness of the geographic information may be questioned.
These two uncertainties, which might affect the distribution pattern, can be reduced by this pretest, demonstrating the distribution of Livejournal and Diaryland users. However, we should keep in mind the limitation of the blog resources, which are only from the two popular bloghosting services, and might result in some bias. For example, the composition of young users might account for the higher number of bloggers in suburbs than in the city in some areas; and it might also shed light on the unusually wide dispersion and high density of bloggers in Florida.
