Does “decrepitly hip” sound about right? “Hiply decrepit” has a ring of truth.

The Perseus study [ http://www.perseus.com/blogsurvey/ ] says that less than 8% of all “blogs” have been created by persons over 30. No wonder none of my friends have heard about it or care about it. The study concludes that “blogging is a social phenomenon: persistent messaging for young adults.” That’s not a club I need to join.

it’s like totally not me.

And it’s exactly why you, I and the rest of us adults using the technology should call it something other than that four-letter word. Don’t get me started!

David:

It looks as though your skpeticism is well-founded, given the report mentioned here that nearly two-thirds of these “blogs” (as they call them) have been abandoned since their creation. I’m also left feeling either decrepit or remarkably “hip” by the disclosure that the vast majority of these “bloggers” are under 20 . . . .

Hi, Deborah. Sounds like you’ve never met a live blogger either. When it comes to the speed of conversation, ethicalEsq? is a prolix slow-poke. Most weblogs are filled with pithy little blurbs and pointers. [Check out my post what kind of blogger are you? for some categorizations and explanations.]
Because a typical blog posting is only a sentence or two long (and could have been generated by artifical intelligence), it’s quite possible that Dave Sifry is in fact writing all One Million of them. Click on my Favorite Blogs link in the righthand margin for a sample of some of the more interesting weblogs Mr. Sifry has been “monitoring” (writing?).
By the way, isn’t “blog” a particularly weird little word? Leave a Comment at my essay on Blog Jargon to weigh in on that topic.

Dear Dave:

Yours has been the only blog I every visited. I do not even know what a “blog” IS. For me it is the ideas being discussed by you, and those attracted to those ideas, a sort of slow-motion conversation. Is that what a Blog is? LOL. Deborah Sirotkin Butler, Esq.
