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

National Geographic Wallpapers

 I doubt these were used with permissionl so hurry before someone shuts down the host server. If National Geographic means anything to you these are definitely worth looking at.

1st LA Times Wikitorial

LA Times delivered as promised, the first editorial to be edited by the readers. I’m a bit skeptical, wikis should stick to facts not opinions. Nobody can agree on everything.

 Dreams About War and Retribution
