Blogbox Data "By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a key part of online culture. Two surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November established new contours for the blogosphere: 8 million American adults say they have created blogs; blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs. Still, 62% of internet users do not know what a blog is."

If you do not know what an RSS reader is, go to Yahoo, and sign up for a MyYahoo page. Then as you add content to your page, notice the option to add RSS. Search for some of your favorite sites and/or blogs and get live news feeds from these sites to your new homepage....
