State of the blogosphere

Tim Finin, 3:05pm 2 August 2005

David Sifry posts on the state of the blogosphere and reports that the data reveals, among other things, that

  • 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

    If the blogosphere continues to double every 5.5 months, then some time in 2009 every man, woman and child in the workd will have their own blog.

    Of course, it can’t continue to double forever! Just that this is a time of explosive growth…
