David Sifry’s latest “State of the Blogosphere” presents some staggering numbers on the growth of blogs. Here are some quick stats:
* There are more than 35 million weblogs (as tracked by Technorati)
* Over 75,000 new weblogs are created every day
* Over one million posts are added to the blogosphere every day
* Almost four million bloggers update their blogs at least weekly
* More than 19 million bloggers are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
Sifry, the founder and CEO of Technorati, also reports that while spam blogs are more prevalent these days, the actual amount of spam in the blogosphere is less than 10 percent overall. Regardless, the problem does not appear to be going away and will need to be dealt with somehow in the months to come.
