You are an anomaly!

If you're reading this post, you probably belong to an elite 2% of the Internet population who has heard about blogs, and read them regularly.

Clay Shirky points to this article by Jimmy Guterman where he mentions a Forrester online survey of 3,673 people which found that 79 percent of its respondents had never heard of blogs, 98 percent had never read one, and 98 percent said they'd never pay to read or write one.

I wonder how representative the sample was of actual decision makers and influencers. I'm not suggesting that blogging is mainstream in any ways, but it is at a point where the cusp is sure to rise. I'm sure there were some similar shortsighted predictions about the internet (when it used to be spelled with a capital I)

Seems a few of them had to eat their words... (literally)
