I'm looking for some meaty statistics about the use of blogs,
podcasts, RSS Feeds, and community forums (message boards). These
online trends are not core to the presentation, but any "fun" data I
can share will add some good spice.

Specifically, I'm looking to find good numbers on the number of unique
participants (visitors to blogs, subscribers to RSS, posters on
message boards), and the number of actively maintained sources
(updated blogs, active boards, etc).

Bonus: ideally, i'd like to find data specific to the world of small
business.  no idea if this is realistic.

I know this sort of information is available *somewhere* online - I
just haven't a clue where!

Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 09 Nov 2005 15:03 PST

It's usually best to break up a multipart question. You might want to
consider canceling this question, and instead posting four separate
questions, each priced accordingly.

This would enable more than one researcher to help you, and you are
more likely to get an answer.
