Old, But Not Broken
So I'm an old broad.
Bloggers are a predominantly young group of Internet users who are novice storytellers, enjoy describing their own experiences and have a growing audience in the online world.And they don't think there is a new media audience. Sheesh. Actually, I believe this to be very true. Young in spirit, I tell you. ¶ 7/19/2006 08:47:00 PMA glimpse of this group was put together by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
The survey found that almost one in 10 Internet users are bloggers and the audience for this group of online diarists is growing. Almost four in 10 of the approximately 147 million adult Internet users in this country say they read blogs.
The people they are reading on the online blogs are a young, ethnically diverse group. They are mostly newcomers to writing — often writing about their own experiences. More than half of bloggers are under age 30. They were most likely to list their life and events as the most popular topic, followed by politics and entertainment

I felt my knees pop and my hip ache as I read about this earlier. Are we young at heart or just childish? ;)

I feel like they have skewed stats. Most of the blogs I read are by people over 30. I certainly don't fall in the under 30 demo.
