Japan, The Top Blogging Nation
This is an interesting article from Japan Mainichi Daily News. I always thought that English is the dominant language on Internet and there should be more blogs in English than any other languages. But based on the report, I am wrong. There are more Japanese blogs than any other languages!
The number of Internet blogs in Japan stood at about 16.9 million as of January 2008, with about 20 percent of Japan’s 88.11 million Internet users involved in blogging, a survey by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has found.
The report also introduced the results of a survey by an American company that included deleted blogs. The number of blogs across the world totaled about 70 million, it was found. By language, Japanese topped the list, accounting for about 37 percent of all blogs. Second was English, at around 36 percent, while Chinese stood in third place at roughly 8 percent. The figures highlight the popularity of blogs in Japan.

Too bad I don’t understand Japanese. I guess there will be lots of interesting Japanese blogs there for us to enjoy.
