Blogs are journals. They have readers.
Primary research.

David Sifry reports that the New York Times is looking to learn more about blogs. Or about one part of the blogging experience:

Today I got a call from a NYT reporter who is looking to find people who have started weblogs, written for a while, and had a hard time finding an audience.

One suggestion for the Times reporter: Switch the metaphorical framework. This isn't TV here. We don't have audiences.

Blogs are journals. They have readers. Just like newspapers do.

Bizblogs are the new corporate newsletters
Blogging business.

Craig points to Phil blogging about Using Weblogs to Manage IT Organizations. A sample:

One of the things I've noticed is that blogging requires an abundance mentality. I've also noted that blogs encourage a culture of candor. How do you develop a culture that supports sharing? Are the cultural properties that support blogging the same ones that support building a first rate IT organization?

I see a business here. Not sure what it is, but I see one.

One perspective: Bizblogs are the new corporate newsletters.

Why are blogs so successful?
People as found in Google.
Blogger News
Why are blogs so successful? What is it that people like about blogging? And why is it that people will spend an inordinate amounts of time writing posts each day on their blog? On the other hand, what is it that makes a good blog that attracts readers? Which blogs attract readers? Why do readers spend loads of time reading other people's blogs? After all, are not blogs simply websites, or there something that we have learnt to do in websites that suddenly has made this new form of a website attractive.
