I'm interested in knowing how the rise of blogging tools affected an
increase in personal publishing. I'm looking to make a point: whenever
you make something 10X easier, interesting things happen. Thus, I'm
looking to show a graph of personal publishing over time. My hope is
that the advent of blogging shows a change in the slope of the curve.
Specifically, I'm interested in
* # of blogs over time
* pages created on blogs over time.
* before blogs there were personal home pages (geocities,
homestead, etc). How many pages did these have and how many users from
lets say 1995 onward.
My hunch is that when blogs made it so easy, content and personal
publishing took off. |
