Most people I know in the US, not just those in social media PR and marketing, read blogs. It's a successful way to communicate and share ideas about loads of different things. Here most of the blogs I read are more theme based (about PR, social media, tech, games, something). I know tons of 'hey this is my life' type blogs in the states that can still pull in between 500 and 1500 (not too small, not too big) views a day. I do think because key platforms began in the US it has helped. Coming from the same position as Krista, I agree (both with you and her).

Londoners (and English-persons) just aren't the bloggers that Americans are. Two points... 1. The US is about 5x the population of the UK 2. Free blogging services (aka Blogger/Blogspot and Wordpress) started in the U.S. What we need is a European mobile blogging platform to give us (us Europeans) some umph.

Two points…

1. The US is about 5x the population of the UK
2. Free blogging services (aka Blogger/Blogspot and Wordpress) started in the U.S.

What we need is a European mobile blogging platform to give us (us Europeans) some umph.

My girlfriend, Elizabeth, is a massive online celeb gossip consumer. If her friends are anything to go by, and they are definitely not geeks, readership is widespread of the blogs you mention here in London and Aus for that matter.
