The French blog at twice the rate of US Internet users and one-third more than the Brits.

This comes as no real surprise, considering their reputation for lengthy discourse. No Frenchman would be denied his right to put forth his opinion, in great detail… and the Internet provides a world-wide stage upon which to enlighten the ignorant about whatever subject might tempt the blogger.

Laurent Flores of CRM Metrix notes that French blogs “are noticeably longer, more critical, more negative, more egocentric and more provocative than their U.S. counterparts” and that “French bloggers never compromise their opinions.”

But all that blogging takes time.

Hmmmm…

So that’s why France needs an extra-short work week.
