Summary of European Blogosphere

 Euro Blogosphere wiki summary

Wikis are not a very scientific way to conduct a research but given the subject it could hardly get any better. The results are somewhat surprising in some ways but mostly what I expected.

The most interesting stuff is the percentage of blogs relative to the entire population. France and Denmark are waaaay ahead with estimated 4.9% (3.000.000 total) and 3.6% each.
Poland has 1.100.000 blogs that make up 2.8% of the population.
Slovenia is dead last (among those mentioned) with a pitiful 0.01% or roughly 200 blogs. An optimistic estimate at the moment would be 250 but it doesn’t change the percentage by much. Embarrasing any way you look at it…
Even latvia with a similar total population has over 5000 blogs (0.2%). Romania and Switzerland are closest if you compare percentages with 0.02% and 0.06%

European average, based on those figures, is 0.8% but in reality it’s only about 0.2-0.3% in most countries.

Among the most globaly visible european blogs are:
 GapingVoid
 Binary Bonsai
 NevOn
 Loic Le Meur
 MediaTIC
 MicroSiervos
 PointBlog
missing on the list, though very well known, is  PhotographyBlog

Others look boring, deal mostly with politics (and I don’t care much about that) or are written in a language I don’t understand enough to comment so they will not be mentioned here
