Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my feed now and you'll never miss a single post!
Renie Ravin of IndiBlogger.in recently shared some interesting data with me from the 7895 blogs that IndiBlogger.in crawls. IndiBlogger.in is a vibrant community of Indian blogs with some excellent features like a topic-wise directory with ranks (IndiRank) and a meme-tracker (IndiVine).
I have put together the highlights in an IndiBlogger.in State of the Indian Blogosphere Dashboard –
You can also have a look at the full State of the Indian Blogosphere report at SlideShare –
Here are the highlight of the report –
- More than three-fourths of the blogs in the IndiBlogger.in community are written by men.
- The top five languages are English, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi and Telugu. 92% of the blogs are in English. Renie believes that Indic languages are under-represented in the IndiBlogger.in community, but the distribution between various Indic languages should be representative.
- The top five cities are Bangalore, Chennai, NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad, which together account for almost three-fourths of all blogs. The city-wise distribution should be fairly representative, but the metros might be over-represented in the sample because these blogger may be more aware of IndiBlogger.in.
