[Air-L] International Internet use statistics

[David Brake]

For an interesting Asian comparison, try South Korea's National  
Internet Development Agency http://isis.nida.or.kr/index_unssl.jsp.  
The site navigation isn't great and the reports are in slightly  
eccentric English but it was there I discovered that in 2005 "41.3%  
of Internet users have visited own's or other's blog (mini homepage),  
and 30.7% of them have own's blogs. Females use blogs more than male,  
and the age of 20's use them more than any other ages groups. This  
includes 57.5% of Koreans in their 20s" (which makes UK and US blog  
adoption look rather puny. Of course what they call a blog and the  
way that they use it may be quite different)

There are several others in my bookmarks here: http://www.netvouz.com/ 
davidbrake/tag/internet+statistics including the World Internet  
Project http://www.worldinternetproject.net/ which covers several  
countries using comparable questions.
