The Score: The Popularity of Blogs [FR up 7% to 1.6 million visitors]
iMediaConnection ^ | July 13, 2006 | By comScore Media Metrix

Record numbers of people are now visiting blogs, proving that blog visitation is now part of mainstream online behavior for many internet users.

Once bastions for the tech elite, blogs are now as ubiquitous to the web as reality shows are to television. Blogs are redefining how people experience the web and, in many ways, have helped precipitate the shift towards user-generated content on the internet (otherwise known as the Web 2.0 movement).

The emergence of the blogosphere has marked the true democratization of the internet-- a paradigm shift that has taken users from merely having access to information to allowing them to engage in the free exchange of opinions and ideas. But how do we know whether this shift is truly occurring on a wide scale? comScore data show that record numbers of people are now visiting blogs, proving that blog visitation is now part of mainstream online behavior for many internet users.

The top special interest blog in May was TVSquad.com with more than two million visitors, followed by FreeRepublic.com (up seven percent to 1.6 million visitors) and Breitbart.com (1.6 million visitors).

Congratulations Jim! To hear the MSM gushing of late you'd think that liberals are the only ones smart enough to use the Internet. Amazing little fantasy world they inhabit but I don't like visiting it and I sure wouldn't want to live there.

This time next year it'll have broken 2 mil. Bet on it.

I blame Bush for this. It's all his fault.
