The majority of bloggers, especially on such medium as LiveJournal are under the age of 20. The majority of hairdressers and cab drivers, I am willing to guess, is way above 30. While this does not explain the dogging phenomenon, it does explain the low visibility of blogging.
The number of people who blog and the number of people who read blogs will, for the duration of this phenomenon, remain a reasonably constant percentage of the population that uses computers and Internet. But the percentage of computer/Internet users in the total population has not yet hit its ceiling.
Of course, bloggers are a niche population group. But then, so are doggers... There are many reasons why people are better aware of dogging than blogging. This will change with time.
