More and more people have begun to use this feature to express their views and opinions about various topics or just everyday events. The current size of the blogosphere (a collective community of all blogs and their connections with each other) is vast. Based on a survey by Universal McCann in March 2008, a total of 184 million people worldwide have started a blog!Based on Technorati, the blogger statistics in Europe currently stand at 27 per cent and in Asia 13 per cent. The remaining 60 per cent is made up of of other continents such as America and Australia. Music blogs are more popular in Asia and Malaysia, whereas in Europe the more prevalent blogs are based on music and computers. Blogs are not to be taken lightly as they represent the voice of the people, especially in Malaysia.
