Who reads blogs anyway?

How is one to view the phenomenon of blogs? True, they might be of some interest, but enough to justify writing one yourself? And who are bloggers, anyway? Pew/Internet in Jan 2005 published a memo, The State of Blogging. The memo surveys the landscape of the blogosphere, the creators and the readers. Included are the users of RSS, the fast web delivery of syndicated content from blogs, news and traditional web sites.
