Sort of an interesting question. But the real heat starts when someone gets rather opinionated on their answer and then gets slammed by the blogosphere for it. That’s when the magic happens. (If you think controversy is magical, that is.)
Listen in as we discuss this and other marketing and internet topics on this Friday’s Friday Traffic Report Radio!

I listen to the friday traffic report all the time as a podcast. It drives me crazy that I can’t see the date of the podcast on my list of podcasts. Is there a way to add the date so it shows up as as part of the title?
One other question: When itues doe an auto update of my iphone, how does it decide what episodes of the friday traffic report to download to my iphone…and which ones to delete?
thanks
That Globe & Mail piece was hilarious! It always amazes me how fast things can be spread good or bad. I would say if we generalize blogging…and include microblogging as well, then its probably darn close to a tie. That of course is just a guess, but, hey…if its not, then lets start a huge war over here on FTR! lol

I think more men. women may be more clever in writing the blog. but men are able to spend more time for bloging though they are not good at writing.

This is a great post. I know I get more women visiting my blog, than men. However, the men leave more comments than the women.
Thank for all you do Jack.

Kathy – thanks for listening! iTunes will download the latest via RSS so the number the it pulls is what is allowed by BlogtTalkRadio’s feed setup. As to the dates, I will look into my settings but I fear that’s a function they control on their side that I might have no power to change to show dates. Going to check it out now. Thanks!
Men logs more that women. But commenting on Blogs is opposite. I’ve got iphone but I don’t know how to download this one. Use Itunes? Usually meeting with lots of problems. I don’t like it much!

This is a good question actually. I have never seen or stumbled on a statistic based on blogging by genre. It is good to know that many of you answered this question and I’m very intrigued by it, but sad to say, we can not tell who blogs more. Great post.
Men do
