I'm already board with most of what rapidly is resembling 'normal' media.

...and normal spelling?

It's their classmates Finnleagh and Jorjah who will be google-stalked with ease.

Recently, when Angelina Jolie popped out her latest sprogs E News reported that before the babies names were made public the couple's lawyers had already registered the children's domain names (I assume KnoxLeon.us and VivienneMarcheline.org)

heh. bogans really will inherit the earth.

If the MFC is a space station, then the Oaks Complex just down the road is a semi-abandoned biodome.

Well, it certainly feels like one...

and the MFC? "space station". every time i see it i expect cylons to walk out.

There was a guy on Cuba Mall playing Dylan songs a moment ago.

he that young curly headed bloke?

not too bad a muso, that chap.

It could well of been.

Sadist

But only in a non-squicky, text-only consensual way.

Yeah. Let's say that.

Sadist

But only in a non-squicky, text-only consensual way.

Do you know, I'd never thought of the part of Cuba St below Manners Mall as actually being Cuba St, but it is, of course.

Cuba St used to continue down to meet Jervois Quay at about Harris St, until the Michael Fowler Centre got plonked on top of it.…

So, just how many people could I persuade to pop into the Manners St Arty Bees Books and 'say hi to Matt for me', should I seriously want to make his life more 'interesting'?

Sadist.

There was a guy on Cuba Mall playing Dylan songs a moment ago. Not half bad – he had…

civic chambers FTW.

My first job was on the 4th floor of Civic chambers (the SIS were on floor 2, but don't tell anyone).

the guys trying to sell CDs of their band on the streets?

first few songs actually aren't so bad. the rest? not so much.

second chef is notoriously soft-hearted.

i've seen some sad old fckers who haven't given up the dream advertising on there as well.

heh, have you (or any of the Wellingtonians [29%] who visit here) seen the guys trying to sell CDs of their band on the streets?

They are walking around with a CD Walkman,…

and kids with bands.

not all of them are kids. i've seen some sad old fckers who haven't given up the dream advertising on there as well.

Apropos of Che's sig, which I only just noticed:

The posh end of Cuba St

It doesn't have one.

Summary stats for Kiwiblog/PA/Scoop are available:

Where did they get that info from?

From the Nielsen demographic panel, which is into the thousands now, I think.

Y'all are high-earning, highly-educated influencers who use the internet heaps.

Our male-female balance is 55-45, which is actually pretty good for a blog site.…

evidence (that I don't have a link for, or even the document) suggests that they like to use Bebo.

you could put that down to "chain migration" onto an application. much like danah boyd's theory on hi/lo educational splits between facebook/myspace.

Yes. She also noted that the Facebook migration --…

It doesn't have one.

civic chambers FTW.

we've got the mayor over the road, along with the cultural hub of the MFC.

that pub down the road lowers the tone a little though, what.

The posh end of Cuba St

It doesn't have one. It starts in a retail ghetto and ends in a residential one (I know coz I live there). That apartment block by the mower shop with the exhibitionist swimming pool is…

i'd bet money the ethnicity of readership would be almost exactly the same though.

so you did some kind of marine biology degree then?

I see what you did there

it's nice with big writing and a seal kind of thing on it .

There were bikini pictures?

that and/or pictures of blonde women at conferences. none of which i'm impartial to

We managed to get a sample of Dropkicks readers and were surprised to find that a large number of them were women. And that we had a large number of non-New Zealand readers too.

I…

So y'all want to buy some ads?

i've a sneaking suspicion that educational levels and gender are well skewed over at kiwiblog, and *slightly* more even here.

I suspect there's a much higher incidence of rabies at kiwiblog.

I can't remember going to university but they sent me a degree one day so i must have , it's nice with big writing and a seal kind of thing…

but, if we were having this conversation on…

I don't know how skewed (or screwed?) my gender is but I do agree that this is an educated readership here. It is all about niche audiences, I guess, and the…

I wonder how many would've actually said: "I would run around the house screaming"

polling?

The story should get bigger. Let's talk about the long and very recent history of secret Trust Funds now we've opened…

How many of those think updating their Facebook/Bebo status is 'blogging', though?

Further digging reveals that Pasifika have higher rates of using social networking sites and other evidence (that I don't have a link for, or even the document) suggests that they like to use Bebo.

In fact overall, internet users socialised with friends and family more often than non-users.

doesn't surprise me. anecdotal stuff i've gleaned from blogs suggests that people only use facebook to stay in touch with people (or play scrabulous).

People are going to land in different places when figuring tradeoffs for acquiring/learning accessibility tools. Two possible factors for very elderly people are that they have spent a…

I wonder how many would've actually said: "I would run around the house screaming"

While there may be an effect of the average age [of Pasifika internet users] it's still a large amount of "bloggers".

Oohh, I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

Dumb question: was it 12% of Pasifika were bloggers or 12% of bloggers were Pasifika? (the report is giving me gyp…

Probably need to look at the sample size too. The Nielsen Online 2008 survey, for example, report that 54% of New Zealand households are broadband connected. This is 12% below the figure mentioned in the NZH story. Which figure should we trust more?

Probably Nielsen, whose figures (I think) come…

I found it interesting the 12% of Pasifika internet users had a blog compared to 6% of Pakeha and only 2% of Maori. While there may be an effect of the average age it's still a large amount of "bloggers".

There's a comment in there somewhere about Maori and Pasifika…

10% of us have a blog — that's 400,000 blog nutters

I thought was 10% of the 78% who used the internet, which is closer to 300,000. But that's total nitpicking.

But you're right nonetheless.

I was impressed with Pasifika blogging at 12%, twice that of Pakeha.
