Interesting Article that covers Religious Blogs

First Things has an interesting article up called God on the Internet. It's a pretty good overall look at the variety of online religious sites - and it does hit on "Godblogs", which are religious blogs like this one. My favorite paragraph?


Unlike the big corporate sites, Godblogs have smaller readerships, ranging anywhere from Fructus Ventris, a blog run by a midwife, which gets about 115 page-views a day, to Amy Welborn’s Open Book, which gets nearly twelve thousand. (In the world of Godblogs, more than two thousand page-views a day makes you a fairly heavy hitter.)

Why? For over a year we've been above 2,000 pageviews a day - last month we averaged 4,400 a day. Just makes me feel like we're doing something (not everyone would agree on what) right.

Anyway, check out the article - it's worth a minute of your time (it does cover non-Catholic sites also, but has a mostly Catholic slant).

God bless,
Jay

PS - Hat tip to Fructus Ventris, who even got a mention!
