Argentina has this month, and for the first time, benefited from an allowing study, besides accomplishing an estimate among Argentinian blogs on the cloth, drawing the profile of the internauts who find on the Web a means to express themselves.

It is not less than 261 000 blogs which were classified at this exponential occasion, a fast-growing figure according to Laura Elizalde, of Exchange of Medios Ignis, the organism which accomplished the inquiry.

So, study shows that:

• 4,4 % 6 million Argentinian internauts keep a blog;
• 45 % of these bloggers have between 12 and 19 years, while 36 % are 20 - 35 years old;
• 56 % Argentinian bloggers are men, against 44 % of women;
• 6 % bloggers have a high level of education, having a Master or a Doctorate (on the complete population, the only 1,5 % Argentinians are so awarded a diploma!);
• All over the nature of their blogs, the Argentinian internauts are interested in arts, in music, in technology, in sports, in trips and in exits, what confers on them an undoubtedly active and creative life;
• 70 % Argentinian bloggers is almost geeks, connected 4 - 7 days a week (38 % not bloggers are connected more than 4 days a week), and using the Web for a long time for their purchases, for the music acquisition and software, to use online contents (TV, newspapers, radio, etc.), or to chatter;

We offered to study those who are named the early adopters of New Technologies, and so we could define, inside the group of the internauts, the segment of those who keep a blog. We found that it was about persons having a very creative and active profile. The blogger is not a passive surfer, but an enthusiast who tries to exploit at the farthest the possibilities of the web.

Observations to tell the truth not very amazing, when they discover that 50 % internauts belong to the high socioeconomic class. It is right away more practical to approach subjects of dialogue dealing with arts, with technologies or of parties in various places connected in these conditions there, really?

For comparison, I found you the French, reputed figures to be brought up compared with the rest of Europe, even the United States. I could not say if they take into account the blogs of the French expatriates in Argentina, many, but the fact remains that:

• France counts 30 million internauts (50 % of its complete population) against 6 millions in Argentina (that is 13 % of its complete population);
• France counts more than 4,1 million bloggers, against 261 000 listing in Argentina;
• 76 % French bloggers are less than 25 years old, against older 24 %, but in net progress;
• 70 % French internauts have attitudes of geek, and are more connected than regularly on the cloth for their daily activities;

To end, know that the worldwide blogosphere counted, at the end of 2006, not less than 63,1 million blogs classified by Technorati
