Most of the complaints have centered around the US Time Use Survey I’ve been using. I’m looking for a more helpful data set that can replace them and serve a similar function. I found this:
But yet, I can’t locate the raw data from the Pew surveys or Nielsen to see any of the breakdowns of internet usage. It’s interesting to see that supposedly 10% of all American read blogs every day. That’s kind of surprising… I would venture to say it’s unbelievable in fact. My guess is the methodology was a phone survey and it only include the “All Americans” who have stable land lines in urban and suburban areas. So the “All Americans” is probably about as representative as psychology studies done on a group of only psychology students. Also, I can’t find what kind of blogs people are reading or for how long… and Pew normally does surveys in English and Spanish so that’s another reason I need to find the raw data to see the breakdown. Can someone help me locate the original Pew Research or Nielsen data used to make this graphic?
This data would be really helpful because it might allow me to combine the English Speaking screen + 30 minutes reading / using computers screen into a single, more precise filter for English + 30 online reading time / day which would be cleaner for purposes like avoiding double counting and more accurately track what I care about.

If the survey was done with land lines, I’d expect that to undercount the population that reads blogs, rather than overcount. Landlines are used more by people who are older.

Regarding the specific Pew study, I’m not sure, but is it the study mentioned here?
