Blogging causes Poverty
Blog readers reported higher incomes than bloggers did. This supports the theory that blogging entails an opportunity cost of time – the higher the income, the less likely one is to blog.

The head is the way MSM would like the blogging world to fall out…it has nothing to do with causality. Aaron Braaten got 1146 responses to his blog survey in Canada. Using a little ex-magazine publisher statistical lore and the back of a Revenue Canada envelope that suggests that there are at least a couple of hundred thousand Canadians who read blogs. Apparently not this one; but Kate, at Small Dead Animals is a must read….Now, when I was a boy and statistics were just being invented there was some talk about how best to measure the independance of a variable. Not to be picky but if Kate is one of the most widely read bloggers in Canada and she promotes the survey…oh, never mind. It’s a great report and I’m looking forward to reading the whole thing.
