Top blogging cities

Sam Chapman · #**1 Top blogging cities** 12-13-2007, 12:37 PM

Austin, Portland, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Seattle/Tacoma and Honolulu are the top blogging cities in the country. 15% of Austin residents 18 and older read or contribute to blogs regularly. This is a good read for anyone blogging in top cities. It isn't just about blogging, but other tech stuff including high internet usage, owning and using PDAs, etc. Check out the article by Scarborough Research here: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...4689226&EDATE=

Thanks for the article Sam.

Just goes to prove what I have said since 1995 .....

"The number #1 reason for moving to Austin .... Austin is cool!"

Thanks for the find Sam. More importantly though:

Quote:

Demographically, bloggers are young and hail from middle class
families. They are 66 percent more likely than the national average to be
between the ages of 18 and 34. Fifty percent of bloggers are part of a
household that has children under 17, as opposed to 41 percent of the total
population. Bloggers are 20 percent more likely than the national average
to have an annual household income between $50k and $100k per year.

Know your audience when you blog.

I think no one blogs in KC or it seems like that. We are a little slow up here. My family and I gave up the newspaper for blog readers a few years back.

Hey Sam , I thought Tampa was the number one city for top blogging cities? Where did you find these stats?

Oh Sam...I'm sure Morristown is the top!!! LOLLL

Sometimes I feel like I should be back in Austin when I hear stats like that. Here in South Texas, very few agents know what a blog is, let alone contribute to one. I have been doing a little research about expanding into the next county when I get my broker license. Most of those agents don't even have websites. Imagine an agent without a website???

Seattle is where it's at for blogging. It seems like everyone is a blogger and reads blogs. Heck we even have grandma bloggers here.

Portland and Seattle definitely seem to get busy within information technology... since its raining here most of the time
