World and New Media Expo is happening in Las Vegas on November 8 - 9. While taking a look at what's in store, I picked up the following stats...OK they are very US centred but do put things into perspective...Marketers in todays Nano world just can't afford to ignore blogs...because if the following stats are only dealing with the US just imagine what World Wide blogging stats are like :
Take Korea, Japan, China (to a lesser extent), add a little bit of India and South East Asia, then mix in a good dose of Europe , a pinch of Africa and South America and cook it up with America and what do you get ?
Anyone know ?
And then I wondered whether Stephane Z could provide similar stats on Virtual worlds...
