So far 65 people keep a blog and 106 read one. Assuming everyone who writes also reads, that means only 63% of the people who keep a blog have a single reader other than themselves.
[Edit] this is a non-scientific interpretation of the poll [/Edit]

Depends, because one person can read several blogs
You asume that people who read blogs only reads a single one

Yeah, that's why I add the "non-scientific" qualifier to my interpretation.
However, my interpretation could be close to the truth because blog writers are the ones with nothing better to do, the average number of blogs they write is probably far greater than the average number of blogs a reader will bother to look at.

Same here, didn't found it interesting to peek in someone's diary. Even before blogs came out. Blog is just a trashcan IMHO.

Blogs are more hype than substance. A LOT more hype, IMO.
(but I have one, just to see what all the hype is about, but no, I don't read other people's blogs. Well, except for Megan's. )

I will agree that a proper "Blog" is all hype. However, the IIS on my machine is running my own simple blog pages that are a great replacement for all those sticky notes that used to clutter up my monitor. My blog is all substance and no hype. Okay, well, I guess I hyped it a little just now... but that's it.

That's actually a good point. It's not so much that the concept of the blog has any hype, but that the content of the blog is of any value. I guess as Taka would point out to me yet again, it's not the concept that's the problem, it's how the concept is applied.

Kind of how I got into it, but it turns out it's fun. Probably more fun for the person writing it than for the poor souls reading it

Really? Well, I would say then that yours has much more wisdom. And I'm impatiently waiting the continuation of your story, and what happened after you landed in the US with $15 in your pocket!

But does it have to be more fun for the people who read? Many people are just happy to express themselves, it doesn't matter if anyone reads it or not... the joy of expressing yourself, like singing in the shower ... why wrote diary into your private notebook, while you have a possibility to share your thoughts... I like blogs!

I agree with you completely. That's part of the freedom of blogs, nobody has to read them. Some you don't want anyone to read. It's a good way of expressing yourself, to yourself as it were

But don't fool yourself. The mere possibility that someone else may spend their time to read your ramblins is a huge drug. Watching the incoming visitors on the stats. counter is addictive.

Of course, I don't even have a personal website anymore.
The closest thing I had when I did have a website (long ago, in college, in the early days of the web), was a back end perl script that would allow the user to input a line of text, and the site would pick at random one of those lines... like a quote of the day type thing. It was great, except people abused it, as you might guess. I suppose the same could happen with blogs.
