Hello,
ReplyDeletethanks for being my follower.
Kisses.
heres to my thousand year Youtube quest!
ReplyDeleteInteressante sua pesquisa.
ReplyDeleteObrigado por compartilhar.
Bjos achocolatados e seja bem vindo ao Meu Aconchego.
Two thirds of bloggers are male? That one surprised me.
ReplyDeleteMan, I loooove youtube. In a way, it's like tv. I looooove tv. And I'm not even a couch potato...ok, only on Sunday afternoons.
YouTube is great, one of the best inventions ever but there's also tons of crap there. I was surprised too about male being the majority of bloggers but then again on Facebook there are more women then men...
ReplyDeleteYes, as with everything, there will be a lot of crap also on YouTube. Just as there is junk literature, music, food, theatre. Discipline is good.
ReplyDeleteSo the blog is a man's thing, eh? Are there more women on Facebook because it's more 'sociable' and blogging gives men the space to air views, be as [fill in adjective here] as they want to be, without being censured by their women? I'm just guessing here. What do you think?
Oiii
