Frequent bloggers blog from home.

Loren Baker ran a survey of more than 600 Blog Search Engine bloggers (early and enthusiastic adopters) in November. The poll takers were self selecting, so it's an unscientific but useful datapoint. Baker reports:
  • Bloggers are quite active online, 52.8% of all bloggers surveyed update their blogs at least once a day.
  • While most bloggers do not blog only at work (only 4.8% do), 53% of those bloggers surveyed do blog in the workplace (at work, or at both home and work).
  • 43.8% own more than one blog. 21% of all bloggers surveyed own three blogs or more.
  • Only 13.4% of the bloggers surveyed run advertising in their blogs.
  • The majority of bloggers surveyed, 52.3%, use Google's Blogger as their blogging platform of choice. In addition, over 52.7% of all bloggers surveyed use a blog hosting service such as blogspot, blog-city, tblog, or TypePad to host their blogs. Other blog platforms answered by respondents include Radio UserLand, Salon, "MoBlog", Xanga, and LiveJournal.
