Armenian Blog Feeds site, which is created to systematize the field
of Armenian blogs, includes around 110 blogs.
"We want Internet to be used also as a source of knowledge in Armenia.
That is why we support development of thematic blogs in Armenia,"
Head of the project Vardan Papikyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Mr. Papikyan and expert in information security, blogger Samvel
Martirosyan believe that there are around 500 active bloggers in
Armenia. According to the results of unofficial census conducted
by Martirosyan for the fourth time on his blog, LiveJournal system
includes 190 Armenian bloggers worldwide. "These are those bloggers,
who have disclosed their names, making around 10% of all Armenian
bloggers in LiveJournal system," Martirosyan said.
However, Blogspot and WordPress platforms start enjoying greater
popularity in Armenia today. "It is more convenient to monetize,
index blogs at these platforms. Besides, the access to international
audience is easier through them," Samvel Martirosyan said.
