SOME BLOG FACTS
I spent a good chunk of this afternoon surfing the sites of some of the seemingly-professional bloggers to see what was on the minds of my fellow opinionmongerers. If there's any generality to be made about the blogging "community", it's that every single one of 'em knows they're right. Just out of curiosity, wondering exactly how confident we bloggers are in ourselves, I threw in some random phrases into Google to see what came up. Results are hardly scientific, but interesting.
Instances of "blog + 'I know'": about 423,000
Instances of "blog + 'I don't know'": about 262,000
Instances of "blog + 'I'm sure'": about 167,000
Instances of "blog + 'I'm not sure'": about 113,000
Instances of "blog + of course'": about 316,000
Instances of "blog + possibly'": about 125,000
Instances of "blog + anyone with a brain": 136
Instances of "blog + it's open to interpretation": 15
My, we're a self-satisfied bunch, aren't we?
