There are many poets out there still blogging, even though the phenomenon itself probably reached its high-water mark a few years ago. Belated congratulations to Amy King for winning the prize of poet laureate of the blogosphere. I check in on a regular basis, Amy. Maybe Ron Silliman will throw some more statistics out regarding the demographic. It seems most poet bloggers (and most poets) are professors, who use their blog to announce readings, new publications, and post photos.
Poets have to be self-promoting. Think of the two most famous examples. To whomever tunes in to read Me Tronome, thank you.
Have a look at Chicago Bloggers.

Yes, most are professors, yet some are legendary figures known widely for their knowledge of animal languages, who toil under the raging lash of a burnt red Sun and who have laughed a thousand tears.
