Biggest growth for the Web

Biggest growth for the Web

Pranam Kolari, 7:14pm 11 October 2005

BBC reports:

The web has grown more in 2005 than it did at the height of the dotcom boom, says a study … Growth also comes from the rise in blogging, in which users write regularly updated web journals on any and every topic. Some blog sites host the journals on their own domain but many bloggers have taken the step of setting up their own site and installing blogging software on that.
.. many spammers are setting up many domains that try to push their products to the top of search rankings.

Interesting is the additional note about how blogging is driving growth to an extent. Concern is the mention of spam pages (mainly in the context of blogs) and how they are skewing some of these numbers!
