Here’s my latest roundup of web demographics and research. I liked the first item so much I brought over the graph:

Half of US Internet Users Will Read Blogs Monthly [eMarketer]: “51% of US internet users, or 113 million people, will read blogs on a monthly basis. By 2014, the blog audience is expected to rise to 60% of internet users, or 150 million people.”

The Rise of Apps Culture [Pew Internet]: 35% of U.S. adults have cell phones with apps, but only 24% of adults actually use them. Apps users are younger, more educated, and more affluent than other cell phone users.
