Who is blogging?

Three percent of online U.S. seniors have created a blog and 17 percent have read someone else's blog, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. But those stats were from a year ago. Let me go dig up some new ones.

I looked at the project (dated June 2006) and noticed it says 2% of bloggers are 65 or over, 14% are in the 50-64, so unless they've got a very high threshold for "senior," that above figure looks a bit low. However, according to Pew, only 7% of people over 65 are using the internet, so if 2% of the bloggers (12 millinion Americans) are over 65, I'd say the ones that are using it must have a lot to say.
