Blogging Is for Fun and Freedom

Bloggers watch less TV and sleep less than they used to in order to keep their online diaries. This is possible because they have the energy of youth (the typical blogger is between 20 and 26 years old), have fun with it, and, above all, because personal blogs are for them a way of freedom of speech, creativity, and knowledge sharing. The Spanish weblog Tirachina.com has published the results of an online survey conducted in order to know more about authors and readers of weblogs written in Spanish. The answers of more than 1,100 bloggers and 520 readers of Spain and Latin America show a profile of experienced surfers who devote half an hour per day to writing their thoughts online. Most of them created their blog less than one year ago.
