The first study ever conducted on the Greek blogosphere by Panteion University sheds the light on the growing power and influence these blogs have on the general public. While only 30% of Greece is connected to the internet (with an even smaller portion of those being 'bloggers'), there are currently 40,000 Greek blogs with a readership that is reaching 500,000.
According to the study, a typical Greek blogger is:
Male, employed, 30 years old, lives in Athens and has a university education. He follows traditional news sources (the press, radio and television) for less then an hour a day. An Internet user for eight years, he is online for more than four hours a day, using a broadband connection.
Some other interesting numbers about the Greek blogosphere:
- Greek blogs get updated once or twice a week or less, with bloggers spending less than five hours a week on them.- Most bloggers 'blog' because they like writing and want to influence other people.
- Only 8% of Greek blogs get more than 250 hits a day, with 55% getting less than 100 hits a day and the remaining being read by close family and friends of the blogger.
