"Bloggers are not a homogenous group, but they are an educated and affluent one: three out of four U.S. bloggers are college graduates, and 42% have attended graduate school. They skew male, and more than half have a household income over $75,000." – State of the Blogosphere/2008
Would it surprise you that bloggers tend to be better educated and more articulate than your average Joe or Josephine? As my blog posse knows, I luv tables, charts, and data. And Technorati provides them in spades. As a fellow who owns more than one copy of the Statistical Abstract of the United States, I’m eatin’ this stuff up.
There is a lot to look at here for those who are interested and I will highlight one more statistic in this post. Based on the growth of bloggers, and in this chart measuring links to a blog, you can afford to be very picky about who you add to your friend list. ;o)
Enjoy.

I also love data and stats. I haven’t yet gotten around to reading the SOB yet, could you tell me what the bottom most graph represents Jim? Best,Chris S
I have some characteristics they have pointed out. :-)
Wow, wish I was that well educated and made that kind of salary.
Ah, Chris you caught the blog before I finished editing it. The chart in question is on the Technorati site but isn’t well explained. I’ve updated my analysis of it to say that the horizontal axis is the number of links to the blogger’s site. Does that help?
Sure does Jim. And then the vertical axis would be the number of blogs that have x number of links? Interesting that there are so many out there that apparently…. no one knows about.
Well sometimes I feel like I’ve read way too many on the left side of this scale. ;o)
