I figured that CNN was citing the Pew report, although it now appears that it was a little out of context. Thanks, Walt, for clarifying this.

We say what we do these days. And now we blog, or go blogging like visiting friends in the blogosphere. By the way I enjoyed the Internet Librarian Conference very much, it was my first.

It said 62% of American *adults who use the Internet.* Doing quick calculation (comparing Pew's claim of 120 million American adult internet users vs. the 2000 census' total of Americans 18 and over), that comes out to 80% of all American adults. And as Karen Schneider has pointed out, a significant portion of that 62% (but not of the non-internet-using adults) has encountered weblog entries indirectly, via Google and other engines.
