Scrapblog is a service for creating and sharing multimedia scrapbooks online, and given it is relatively new its it interesting to read some of the statistics its has produced in 2007.
The website has released a report highlighting its most interesting themes and trends last year.
Launched in April 2007 and hosting more than one million online scrapbook pages, Scrapblog has identified several large, interesting trends of the past year. Scrapblog’s milestones and industry findings include:

“I was delighted by the trends in online scrapbooking,” said Rebecca Saylor, recently appointed Scrapbook Community Manager at Scrapblog. “As many of our members, I joined Scrapblog because it combines my passion for crafting and sharing online. I see Scrapblog as a complement to my other scrapbooking and crafting activities. It just happens to be a more social way to preserve my memories.
