Why avocados in a post about food blogs? WHY NOT?

Recently, I posted an online survey about U.S. food blogs and U.S. food journalism. You can read about it here. Thanks to the help of a number of generous food bloggers, I was able to round up 1853 of you to take the survey, a very successful response indeed. I would like to officially thank the following food blogs and bloggers for promoting the survey:

Anna @ Sunday Night Dinner

Shuna @ Eggbeater

Michael Ruhlman @ Michael Ruhlman: Notes from the Food World

Sam @ Becks and Posh and Food Blog Scool

Robyn @ The Girl Who Ate Everything and Serious Eats

Cookiecrumb @ I’m Mad and I Eat

Dylan @ Sourdough Monkey Wrangler

Vanessa @ What Geeks Eats

Amanda @ What We’re Eating

Molly @ Orangette

Follow up:

I am in the process of analyzing the results, which are part of my dissertation for my Masters in Gastronomy at the University of Adelaide. My dissertation is focusing on the impact U.S. food blogs are having on U.S. food journalism.

I received many comments wondering why the survey focused on only the U.S. when blogging is an international phenomenon. As the dissertation has a limit of 15,000 words, I am not able to examine food blogging worldwide and hence selected only the US blog market as my focus of study. Being an American, I have a vested interest in U.S. blogging culture, and thus far have found the U.S. food blog market to be the most saturated in the world. This fueled my interest to specifically study U.S. food blogs.

The results of the survey should be available to download from my blog in May 2008 (if anything changes, I will let you know). If you have contacted me about the results with your email address, you will be emailed directly when this information is available. If you have not done this but would like to receive results, click here to contact me or check my blog for updates.

Thank you once again if you participated in or promoted the survey and I look forward to sharing the results with everyone.
