One of the interesting things about being someone who works with the web is that, for all that we make up a small amount of society, we make up a sizable majority of the content creators on the internet.
Blogs, Twitter, feeds – they’re all us. Others use them, but we use them more.
In the interests of seeing just how much content I create, I’ve tallied up my blogs and accounts. Here’s where I stand:
- 3 google accounts
- 3 Tumblr blogs
- 6 Twitter accounts
- 5 Blogger blogs
- 2 self-hosted Wordpress blogs
- 1 custom blog
- 1 ‘corporate’ blog
Looking at the last year or so alone, I write about 3 different blogs – one about programming and tutorials, one for my employer, and this personal blog. I’ve also recently started up another, secret blog – the purpose of which is also secret. One of my blogs has even gotten into 9rules – although whether that’s as hard as it used to be is something I’ve often wondered.
I think that the ‘typical user’ has a blog. Maybe a Twitter account.
But probably not five of each. Who knows how many I’ll have in a year or two?
