A new report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project shows more than 40 percent of Americans now have high-speed access at home. More users with high-speed access means more reasons to add multimedia features to your blog.  Blogs like Microsoft's Channel 9 are obviously ahead of the curve on this, but look for others to launch similar efforts. The report notes that there is a significant statistical relationship between users who have high-speed connections and users who create content online.  Overall, 48 million Americans have posted content to the Internet with 11 million saying they maintain a blog or journal online. This group also tends to be younger.
