1. Why do have Germans the second biggest top level domain pool in the world,
just next to the .com-top level domain ?
* .com: 51.701.541
* .de: 10.000.000
* .net: 7.676.583
* .uk: 5.039.470
* .org: 4.677.451
* .info: 2.953.088
* .eu: 2.004.764[2]
* .nl: 1.929.767
* .biz: 1.402.182
* .it: 1.162.416

Because they like to publish !
2. But why 99% of Internet-Germans do not blog, even do not read blogs ?
Because they do not know, what a RSS-FEED is and what a RSS-READER is, and if they hear about it, they think it is something very tecknologikal and maybe dangerous.
So, how to become a blog reader, maybe short there after a blogger:
1. Install a good webbrowser, f.e. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
2. Install a RSS-READER (a little tool, that let your browser follow new posts on any chosen blog) Here how to get one into your Firefox-Webbrowser:
Go to: http://sage.mozdev.org/install/
(You now can install on that page the RSS-Reader SAGE by clicking on: Click here to install)
After install: Shut down your firefox webbrowser and restart your firefox webbrowser !!!
Now, you already can open SAGE (<Click on TOOLS in the top bar of Firefox, then click on SAGE>)
Go on a good Blog, f.e. http://georgien.blogspot.com
Bookmark this blog (thus let SAGE read that's Blog RSS-feed) by clicking on the sign of the LENS.
When SAGE found 1 or more feeds, just chose one of those, and click YES.
Whenever the writer of http://georgien.blogspot.com wrote in a new post some news on Georgia, your SAGE shows you the existense of the UPDATED blog by showing it in FAT BLACK LETTERS.
So, hit from time to time the RELOAD button in the top of SAGE and he will check your observed blogs on new postings.
How to find interesting blogs ? Go here and search
http://blogsearch.google.com
And if its a worth cool blog, then don't forget to bookmark that blog in SAGE. (Details above)

Hans,
That's is all very interesting and I completely agree with the Firefox part. I do not use Sage, I use bliglines instead and I am very very happy with it. That is how I read your blogs.
What strikes me a bit odd is the number of .de domains. I am not trying to say that it is overblown, but it does seem a little strange how all domains have numbers that seem quite real and .de is exactly 10.000.000.

Hi Vova,
here is a more acurate number:
http://tinyurl.com/gduka
9.921.036 End May 2006
A bit below 10.000.000
(I myself have 8 or 9 ;-))
Yes, of course, Sage is just one example. There are many more other ways. The way f.e. Opera did the integration into the browser itselfs always confused me a bit.
I started to read some blogs in 2003, but installed an RSS-Reader End 2004 (took me 1,5 years to get it) and started blogging a couple of month later... So all from my own experience ;-)
