Free Republic isn't a blog.

FR is something more than a blog, it's a 21st Century Broadside.

We're strong, we're pretty and CAN'T POSSIBLY BE BEAT!

[Anti-Bubba182]

It is interesting to see the Daily Kos way down on the list
despite a LOT of free publicity it gets...and DU is nowhere to be seen.

[trubluolyguy]

Hehehehe, DU? Oh, DU?????HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keithtoo]

Well, Lucianne does claim to be a blog. They should be somewhere on that list.

[TAdams8591]

But it's NOT a blog. It's so much more.

Is there any way of posting the whole report? It appears to be a PDF file, and for some reason my computer tells me that my current security settings will not permit it to be downloaded. (Normally I can view PDF files on-line, so there must be something else involved.)

[Peace will be here soon]

The term "blog" has become so generalized.

It seems any website where news is found is considered a blog by many people nowadays.

First Comprehensive Study of the Actual Online Behavior of Blog Visitors Now
Available

RESTON, Va., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- comScore Networks today released a
report detailing the scale, composition and activities of audiences of
Weblogs, commonly known as "blogs." The report, which was sponsored in part
by Six Apart and Gawker Media, found that nearly 50 million Americans, or
about 30 percent of the total U.S. Internet population, visited blogs in Q1
2005. This represents an increase of 45 percent compared to Q1 2004.
Other key findings of the Behaviors of the Blogosphere report include:

-- Five hosting services for blogs each had more than 5 million unique
visitors in Q1 2005, and four individual blogs had more than 1 million
visitors each
-- Of 400 of the largest blogs observed, segmented by eight
(non-exclusive) categories, political blogs were the most popular,
followed by "hipster" lifestyle blogs, tech blogs and blogs authored
by women
-- Compared to the average Internet user, blog readers are significantly
more likely to live in wealthier households, be younger and connect to
the Web on high-speed connections
-- Blog readers also visit nearly twice as many web pages as the Internet
average, and they are much more likely to shop online

(There gonna start marketing pitches designed for Freepers..Bwahhhaaaaaaa!!!!)

...Having her Media call us Freepers on Freerepublic.com a "BLOG" now,

...instead of the true Internet Forum we really are,

...is HILLARY's way including us in her shutting down of BLOGS during the next Presidential Election,

...vis a vis no more Swift Boat Vets-Type Internet sharing to stop her from becoming Pesident.

That's why WE ARE NOT BLOGGERS.

We made it all this way without "Gittmo Gear"?
