I have no idea what this means (who is Cameron?) and maybe I don't want to know, but it was nonetheless very interesting to see just how much the MIT Blog Survey is busting the myths about blogging. Mind you, they can only report what they collect, and it's with that in mind that the survey closes off by begging participants to make the pool a little larger by posting little badges like this one. If you're a blogger, go ahead, click it. Make their day.

Back at the science, some interesting findings emerging at a sampling of about 10,000 participants, including: 60% female and the bell clearly clumps around the age of 30 (plus minus maybe 3); almost no one talks about their work; most target less than two dozen readers.

What's quite curious is how blog start-ups exploded from Y2K up until two years ago, but then it backs off despite blogger, typepad and bryght? Although very few have any plans to stop blogging, projections suggest new startups have waned way back to 2002 levels.
