One man, many blogs 
| | France has stolen a march on the rest of Europe in the blogosphère. More than 4.5m people have created a blog in France, or 18 per cent of the 26.9m people who have an internet connection, according to a study published last week by Ipsos. |
| | While 36 per cent of internet users visited blogs in France, this figure was only 24 per cent in the UK, 18 per cent in Italy and 9 per cent in Germany, according to a study in June by Média-métrie. France's blogging boom is being driven by the young: 80 per cent of French blogs were created by people aged 25 or under. |

There's a strange cultural misinformation process happening driven by Google. Google is very good at giving results in the language that you speak or phrase the query in. The net result is that an English speaker gets the impression that the whole web is in the USA with small outliers in the UK. And yet Sifry's analysis shows that only 40% of blogs are in English.
