State of the Blogosphere, February 2006
Some facts in summary from Dave Sifry, blogging on the Technorati blog about the state of the blogosphere:
- 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
- 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
The state of growth is absolutely staggering, but perhaps the more interesting stat is around the number of people still posting after 3 months. The fact that tagging is taking off also gives rise to the importance of such ideas. Its an area that businesses could pay much more attention to in terms of their websites.
