- 4. Core findings & summary
Blogs and Facebook have joined the ranks of mainstream
media, showing continued modest growth.
Everyone is an early adopter, thanks to mobile devices.
Adoption rates of new services and tools are high, but volatile
Blog recommendations lead to good product experience
Positive experiences translates into trust
Familiar bloggers rule, and are even more engaging than celebrities
Technology & media are good things.
But passion doesn’t always follow usage
We use different media for different purposes
We consume some media regularly without really loving it
Economic concerns are still paramount
Interestingly: BlogHers report substantially less unemployment,
and substantially more self-employment
