And The Sir Blogs-A-Lot Award Goes To: Japan!
An interesting article I just spotted on Free Internet Press notes that although there are more than five times as many English speakers as Japanese speakers, there are more Japanese-language blog posts out there than English-language ones. In other words, the average Japanese blogger posts at least five times as awesome as the average English-language blogger.
Which is kind of obvious when you consider how much more advanced Japan’s mobile phone services tend to be– blogging from your cell phone is easy there and makes up an estimated 40% of Japanese blog posts. It’s a bit trickier and less common here, usually because it’s a hassle.
The post also makes some comments about the nature of Japanese blogging, saying it’s “tamer” than American blogging, which is also not too surprising. Kinda neat, eh?

I still want to get the DS browser to see if I can post from it. I want to soak in the apparent awful-ness.
