Relatively few among the public see internet blogs as an important addition to the American scene. The plurality opinion (36%) is that the emergence of blogs has not made much of a difference.

Fully 44% say blogs have been a change for the better. By comparison, far fewer adults ages 50 to 64 (22%) or adults ages 65 and older (15%) see blogs as an improvement.
