How many blogs are there in Singapore?

By administrator ⋅ January 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

As Harro lists all the blogs in Singapore, a question starts to pop up….

“Just How many blogs are there in Singapore?”

Currently, we sucked up all the bloggers listed in the various blog directories, and popular blogs, and we’re now moving out to other Singaporean blogs….

Caslon discusses statistics taken in June06 with percentages of 3% in Britain and Denmark, 7% in the USA, 8% in France and speculations of 25% of people in South Korea having blogs. My guess is that only 1%-5% of Singaporeans have blogs, but its a figure that is growing rapidly. Taking the lower 1% limit, that would be 40000 people in Singapore. An alternative estimate is 175,000 blogs.

This is based on an assumption that any self-respecting sudent would have a blog. Lets say only 50% of them do, and at 50K students per cohort, and 7 cohorts (where students only start blogging between Sec2 to Uni3), we should have a total number of

“175000″ blogs
That’s alot of blogs….

  1. I believe the figure will grow super fast. It is like a norm now for students to have a blog :)

  6. is this number the latest update? what is the most updated number of blogs in Singapore? maybe an estimate might be good as the number might have already risen to a very high number.. it’s not so surprising, considering that the younger generation now feel that it is a trend to keep blogs.. therefore, many will just keep blogs for the sake of it, some because they find it useful and others use it for their respective reasons..

  7. Reasonable estimates are at about 500K bloggers now and yes, you are right, it is still increasing.

  8. [...] – It seems 46% of the online population in Singapore have created blogs of their own, according to the latest MindShare research. We did our own calculations here. [...]
