How many blogs?!
By Gearhead, NetworkWorld.com, 08/03/05
"As of the end of July 2005, Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links. Interestingly, this is just about double the number of blogs that we were tracking 5 months ago." -- from State of the Blogosphere, August 2005, Part 1: Blog Growth on Technorati.
The stats:
- The Blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months
- A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily
- About 55% of all blogs are active, and that has remained a consistent statistic for at least a year
- About 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly
