SURVEY CAVEATS AND LIMITATIONS

The results presented here are based on an online survey, which ran for seven days (from January 14th to January 21st, 2004). During that time, 492 people responded to the online questionnaire. Out of those responses, 486 were selected for data analysis  the remaining 6 responses were incomplete and, therefore, were disregarded.

Respondents to this survey were not selected on a random basis. Announcements for the online survey were posted to mailing lists within MIT as well as on a few high-traffic blogs published by people known to the author of this survey. The viral nature of blogs meant that the links to the survey page quickly spread to many other blogs. Nevertheless, this does not qualify as a random sample of the blogger population and, as such, the results from this survey cannot be generalized to the entire blogging community; instead, these results are representative of the state of affairs in certain portions of the blogging world.
