             Subject: demographics of blogging?

    Has anyone studied the demographics of blogging? The linguistics? Is there
    a particular kind of discourse characteristic of this mode (as would seem
    impressionistically to be the case)? Is it conducted by particular kinds of
    people, e.g. esp. by Americans, not so much by Canadians, or more so? those
    under or over the age of 30? Is it more a nocturnal than a daytime habit,
    more personal than professional?

    Yours,
    WM
