Last year, I did Hot Topics in Training - A Crude (but mildly interesting) Analysis where I analyzed the topics at Training 2005 and Training 2006 to determine what topics were emerging and fading. As a speaker and someone expected to have a pulse on what's happening, I thought this was mildly interesting.

We need to figure something out.

When I first started blogging in 2006, it seemed like all the bloggers were exactly the same people who spoke at conferences. While there are these abandoned blogs, overall I believe there's been a nice growth of eLearning blogs from a wider variety of sources over the past few years. Now, there are more practitioner blogs.

It especially seems high because my experience at Training 2006 suggested that very few people in Corporate Training read blogs. Thirty-nine percent of internet users, or about 57 million American adults, read blogs - a significant increase since the fall of 2005. The 39% seems very high to me. 99% Blogs - 2.5%
