A member of the Google Blawg Group sent a link to a NY Times article on blawgging.

Though brief and somewhat basic, the article does introduce the mainstream to blawgs and blawgging. The article points to a survey by Blogads.com, completed (voluntarily) by 30,000 blog visitors last spring. The survey found that 5.1% of blog readers were lawyers or judges, a group that is fourth behind computer professionals, students and retirees.

Of those that said they kept their own blogs, 6.1% reported that they were in the legal profession.

The article sites John Hinderaker of Powerlineblog, who said:

“Good lawyers write well, quickly and clearly and do not fear arguments.”

Again, the article doesn’t really give a lot of insight into blawgging, but that’s not really its point. It just aimed to introduce blawgs to the masses.
