The latest report on the state of the Blogsphere estimates that there are now about 70 million weblogs and over 120,000 new ones being created daily.That is 1.4 per second.
However growth is slowing and the amount of posts are also reducing.There are now around 1.3 million postings per day compared to 1.5 million in the middle of last year.
Perhaps more interesting is the more posts are now being made onto the top 100 popular sites suggesting that the relevance of customer feedback is growing.
In summary:
70 million weblogs
About 120,000 new weblogs each day, or...
1.4 new blogs every second
3000-7000 new splogs (fake, or spam blogs) created every day
Peak of 11,000 splogs per day last December
1.5 million posts per day, or...
17 posts per second
Growing from 35 to 75 million blogs took 320 days
22 blogs among the top 100 blogs among the top 100 sources linked to in Q4 2006 - up from 12 in the prior quarter
Japanese the #1 blogging language at 37%
English second at 33%
Chinese third at 8%
Italian fourth at 3%
Farsi a newcomer in the top 10 at 1%
English the most even in postings around-the-clock
Tracking 230 million posts with tags or categories
35% of all February 2007 posts used tags
2.5 million blogs posted at least one tagged post in February
I wander what the sustainability of these figures is and can the technology actually handle this amount of traffic
