NOT BLOG UTOPIA… YET

Posted in the Category of Events and Stuff

I met so many interesting, smart people at BlogCon in Cambridge this past weekend. You might be wondering... who is doing all this blogging? Many of the BlogCon attendees were white males - highly-educated and mostly affluent. There were quite a few women, to be sure. But almost no minorities. Except for a young black guy named Oliver Willis. He lives in Boston and writes an engaging, politically astute blog. He's written an interesting comment on Deflating the Blog Bubble. Worth reading in entirety. He makes the point that many Americans are not yet online, *most* Americans aren't blogging nor do they have a clue what a blog is, and that blogs haven't changed everything... yet.

While Oliver may have been the only African American in attendance (although there was another at the mixer Friday night) one must be fair and point out several Indians and Asians in attendence.

Then again, the costs of attendance, lodging, travel and lack of day care combined with the rampamnt unemployment restricted the deomgraphics.
