Dancer does some research...
From an article dated August 6th this year--
"To try to get an answer to this question I’ve turned to Google. By typing in the domain name of a tool you can find the number of web pages that link to the domain name and the number of pages that contain the search term of that domain name. For example, AOL Journals are all hosted at journals.aol.com. By searching this domain name in Google we find that about 42,300 pages link to journals.aol.com and 159,000 pages contain the domain name journals.aol.com. This compares with 291,000 pages that link to blogspot.com (Blogger’s domain name) and 1.2 million pages that contain the domain name blogspot.com."
Put another way, Elise, author of this study, produces this pie chart:
wow, and my favorite web-hosted blog spot, Bravenet, isn't even listed!
(guess that's covered in the 2% "other") Still, nothing about what states show the highest concentration of bloggers. I am dumbfounded.

If I read this research correctly, as of August 6, there were approximately 159,000 AOL journals. those go up daily, but as we've seen here-- how many also wipe out (become inactive) each day goes up exponentially due to some breach of etiquette by AOL or commenters or journal-writers themselves.

I would be curious to know how many active jnl's in AOL?

Agreed, Coy!

Well I'll bet we are the best 4% out there. I can't immagine a better community than J-land:-)
