Eszter, sure. My life experience doesn’t have a whole lot to do with that of college students in Illinois, and it was unrealistic of me to chime in and pretend it does.

Aidan, if you look at the slides, you’ll see some other figures as well. It’s not possible to ask about everything on a survey so I had to pick a few items. Instapundit and Daily Kos are among the most widely read political blogs so if someone reads political blogs, there is a good chance they will have visited these at least once. I asked about some others as well – and will report on them at some later point -, but the numbers aren’t that different.

Jet–hmm? I’ve been reading blogs energetically–political ones, too–for four years at least, and I’ve never visited the Daily Kos. I think I’ve been at Instapundit twice. Languagehat.com, now …

“Each” being Instapundit and Daily Kos. That was the third question I listed in the first paragraph. Perhaps I’ll add a bit of info in the text to clarify.

“Each” being poliblog/personal stuff or being Facebook/Myspace?
