Take the MIT Weblog Survey

Interestingly, the survey seems to have a complete unawareness of the fannish uses of blogging. Or is it just me?

utter unawareness. No choice even for your own website. It's like they don't image you do anything but link to other people with them or talk about your home life...

It's hard to imagine they couldn't know about people perving over cute guys in the privacy of their own livejournals... ;)

No...

d. You use this for Pr0n
e. Perving over cute lads
f. Perving over cute lasses
g. Some combination of d,e & f and sharing the results

Or in your case, h) posting pics of lads with big arses? ;)

Or try to "advance your career," or however they worded it. Yeah, right.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of fandom-related answers.

Not just fandom per se. If you were using a journal for any kind of hobby, it wouldn't have been covered by those answers.

Yes, I too was surprised by what I saw as a lack of a whole area of people's lives.

Well, despite these comments, I went over and took the survey...I figure, if the word spreads through LJ, surely to goodness one of those 5000 that they intend to investigate will come from this part of the net. And then they'd have to be blind not to see the fandom stuff.

That's what I'm hoping. I just found the extremely limiting categories they gave you to choose from a tab, um, frustrating. They could have at least given us an "Other" category.

Yeah. That bothered me a lot. I mean, I comment about politics all the time, but the main focus of my lj is for fannish stuff.

So glad to hear it's not just me.
