Almost a third of those who write blogs are in the U.S. and over 50% of Twitterers are American. The U.S.A. accounts for most bloggers with 30% of blogs being produced in the U.S., which is some four times greater than the number two country, the U.K. with 7% of blogs being British. Japan occupies the third place, and Brazil is fourth. China-based blogs aren't represented in the list given the oppressive anti free-speech stance of the Chinese government.

Twitter use against the blogging stats shows clearly that short status-message posting is more popular in the U.S. than writing blogs. It suggests younger Americans prefer making short postings on social networking sites, and going online on mobile phones. The popularity of blogs has steadily declined among both teens and young adults.

The Wall Street Journal Wealth Report has been named among the top blog sites for finance by Time magazine. Time searched for blogs that offered the most useful financial advice, the best insight into the economy, or were just fun to read. They produced a list of the 25 best financial blogs, which also included the excellent analytical site Zero Hedge.

After compiling the list, Time asked some of the best-known bloggers to review one another's work. Paul Kedrosky reviewed the Zero Hedge blog, and he describes it as a morning zoo of pessimistic financial blogging that is also a lot of fun to read. While that may seem like a contradiction, the downbeat site has found an entertaining and informative niche at the intersection of The X-Files, finance and tireless anti-Goldman Sachs campaigning. However, he criticizes the site for being too conspiratorial and too much of an intellectual monoculture.
