Happy Thanksgiving!

I found this statistic in a current textbook, and it was part of one of my lectures last week in Principles of Advertising. Pretty interesting numbers, and as a blogging slacker myself, totally realistic. :) 


What my students learned:



Blog: a diary-like Web page created by individuals to talk about things that interest them
  Bloggers often have higher levels of credibility than ads or corporate websites, which are seen as self-serving.
  Problem: Require a lot of time and many bloggers run out of steam.
  Some 7 to 10 million active blogs but probably between 50,000-100,000 generate most of the page views.


So I promise to fill up on steam and provide more updates!

Craig and I are so excited for our Thanksgiving plans...we're traveling to New York City Friday afternoon, staying with Missy & Chris in Brooklyn for the weekend, then taking the Mega Bus down to Baltimore Monday afternoon.  We'll be in Maryland the entire week, spending time in D.C. with my brother and the actual holiday out on the Eastern Shore at my aunt and uncle's with everyone.

Happy Turkey Day!!!
