The French Blog

And do they ever according to this truly fascinating article in the NYTimes more than 60% of France has visted a blog in the last month compared with just 30% of the US. And they spend more time reading when they go. And write longer, more opinionated(!) pieces when they write.

Some highlights:

"You cannot be elected president of France without a blog"

And one hard-charging blogger, Christophe Grébert, faced lawsuits for allegations published on his blog about the government of his Paris suburb.

Ze knows about hard chargers, if you are wondering.

These people are living in the future, and yet they are French. Of course they are living in a very French future, but what can you expect.
