Vote up this comment if you would be most likely to read an academic paper, downloadable over the Internet as a PDF.

For me this depends heavily on what you mean by "read"... how it depends:

I am about 3x more like to browse an academic paper all the way through than a blog post (upon seeing that the title interests me).

I am about 100x more likely to read every single word of a blog post than an academic paper (upon seeing that the title interest me).
