Some very generalised observations while compiling The Octopus Files, which may or may not be very accurate.There are very few blogs beginning with V, X, Y and Z.
There are a hell of a lot of blogs starting with A, B and S.
There are more british than american male bloggers in proportion to the number of female brit and american bloggers.
There appear to be significantly more female bloggers in general.
Moveable Type is vastly more popular among american bloggers than among brits, who tend to use blogger, and assorted other blogging tools.
Female blogs appear to be more personal in nature, and often more creative, while men tend to concentrate more on work, news and technology, often largely link based.
The quality of blogs linked from a good quality blog are vastly superior than those from a poor blog, while those from portal sites can range from absolute rubbish, to a few real gems... which kinda makes sense really.
As I said, these observations may be entirely inaccurate, and just reflect the kind of blogs linked to from the kind of blogs I enjoy reading... who knows. Suffice to say, if I had to express a liking for a particular type of blog, it'd be by a female 30ish american using Moveable Type, of a personal nature (no I don't mean pervy... just about her life), and with a sharp sense of humour.
It's quite probably that you can tell the kind of blogs or at least posts, that I like from the type of excerpts I chose while compling the octopus files.
Anyway... enough of that for now. I've got a thumping headache and am gonna go lie down for a bit before Brigitte gets here.
