<ul>
<li>46% of the online population in Asia have a blog (compared to just 8% of US web users).</li>
<li>Almost half of all Asian bloggers (56%) are under 25, while 35% are 25 to 34 years old, and 9% are 35 years old and over. 74% of bloggers in Malaysia are under 25. Compare this to the US, where there is a much wider age spread: 46% of bloggers in the US are aged 30 or over.</li>
<li>On average, women make up 55% of Asian bloggers. Females make up 64% of Malaysian bloggers compared to 46% in the US. </li>
<li>More than 40% of Asian bloggers have less than 10 visitors per week.</li>
<li>74% of those in the survey find blogs by friends and family to be most interesting.</li>
<li>About 50% believe blog content to be as trustworthy as traditional media. (Compare to 24% in Europe)</li>
<li>56% of those polled said they blogged in order to have an opinion space for themselves.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Exceptions:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Korea skews the average figures given above upwards: Around 90% of Koreans in their 20s have a Cyworld blog, and that there are perhaps 11.9mn bloggers across the entire population (48.3mn). And the subject matter covers all walks of life.</li>
<li>India skiews the 55% average downwards with only 24% female bloggers. Around half of Indian bloggers found business blogs most interesting, compared to a quarter in the other areas polled.</li>

Maybe it's time for the English-speaking world to start learning Japanese, Chinese, etc. As you've noted, there are many nuances within a language, even stories behind various words, phrases, proverbs, sayings, etc. The best way to really understand another person and his perspective is perhaps to understand and even speak his language -- even if it's only a few words here and there.Good points, Rob.

There is a huge world outside of English language blogging that bloggers are missing. For example, the April 2007 State of the Blogosphere report from Technorati indicates that Japanese accounted for the largest number of blog posts in Q4 2006. Of course, one of the challenges in penetrating those potential markets is the language itself. While translation software and sites help, they generally do a poor job of dealing with many of the nuances of language.Very interesting article and something I’ve been giving some thought to lately.
