Trevor Cook: Blogging continues to grow strongly

11 February 2006

Technorati now tracks over 27.2 Million blogs
The blogosphere is doubling in size every 5 and a half months
It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago
On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day
13.7 million bloggers are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
Spings (Spam Pings) can sometimes account for as much as 60% of the total daily pings Technorati receives
Sophisticated spam management tools eliminate the spings and find that about 9% of new blogs are spam or machine generated
Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour
Over 81 Million posts with tags since January 2005, increasing by 400,000 per day
Blog Finder has over 850,000 blogs, and over 2,500 popular categories have attracted a critical mass of topical bloggers
