Perseus study on blogging

Apparently 91 per cent of bloggers are aged 13-29, and more than 50 per cent are teenagers. Fifty-six per cent are women. Old codgers like me are bucking the trend.

Manasco and Siegel on InCopy direct sales

Editor & Publisher on Adobe's new strategy of selling InCopy direct to customers. Chad Siegel says it's good news for small publishers and -- with the Bridge plugins -- provides entry-level file locking, status, check in/out, etc. The move is a step in the right direction but Adobe should really be brave enough to distribute the product like they did with Acrobat Reader. They'll never make money out of InCopy, so they should give it away to encourage people to buy the stuff it integrates with.

Shake-up at the Telegraph

In addition to changing the Daily Telegraph's editor, the Telegraph Group is undergoing a substantial shake-up of its board. Former new media division head Hugo Drayton replaces Jeremy Deedes as manging director, and former deputy editor of the Sundary Telegraph Kim Fletcher becomes "editorial director". There are a number of other changes both to roles and those performing them.
