	Phil's Blogservations Monday, April 18, 2005 Posted by philgomes 6:47 PM Blogging Poll Currently Shows Goose Egg For Comment-Posting Blogging Poll Currently Shows Goose Egg For Comment-Posting IBDNetwork sent out a poll amongst its newsletter subscribers today asking "Are you in or out of the blogosphere?" (IBD stands for "International Business Development" rather than "Investor's Business Daily", in this case.) Note that this poll probably doesn't have much scientific weight behind it and we don't really have an idea of the sample size at this time. Anyway... Mid-poll, here are the results: I guess it's surprising-but-not-really that 47% say "Blogging? I DON'T think about it." 31% of respondents have their own blog? Assuming a reasonably large sample size, this seems a little high to me. The zero-percent figure asking about weekly comment-posting perked my ears up. If it's one argument I consistently get into, it's the notion of "comment entitlement" on corporate blogs. I've written about this before, and Jupiter's Michael Gartenberg and David Schatsky have told visitors that opening up comments just isn't going to happen. So, if most aren't commenting, then what is the profile of someone who does? Sounds like something us PR folk should keep an eye on.
