The latest version of State of the blogosphere is out now by Technorati (who tracks 50 million blogs). I must admit that it is the first time I look at this and what really caught my eye is the language blogposts are written in:

One statistical thing that looks a bit weird is the difference between some of the languages since the last surveys. English goes from 34% (April) to 41% (May) and the ends at 39 % in June. But nonetheless I am surprised by the amount of non-english post, is this indicative of blogs and social software/web2.0 being the technology that finally restructures some of the hegemony we all thought the internet would do in the 90’ties? Of course one would have to do some research into what is actually written, how is it incorporated into everyday life, business and so on. But the numbers are impressive.
Speaking of hegemony I stumbled upon this today http://www.functionfeminism.com/. It is a guide to theory and artworks related to cyberfeminism – check out the timeline -awesome! I’m though missing the net.art generator by Cornelia Sollfrank, but since it has its primary authorizing context within net.art it is probably judged to geeky - sorry for the hegemony ;-)
