Sifry’s State of the Blogosphere

August 9, 2005 · 0 comments

It’s time again for Technorati’s quarterly summary of the what they’re seeing and the numbers just underscore the fact that blogs are here to stay. Some highlights:

  • The number of blogs continues to double every 5.5 months
  • Technorati now tracks over 14.4 million blogs and 1.3 billion links
  • That’s a new blog every second or 80,000 blogs/day
  • The number of posts/day has increased to 900,000/day
  • That’s 10.4 posts/second
  • About a third of all posts are self-tagged or categorized
  • 12,000 new tags or categories are discovered each day

Facinating stuff from the folks that have their finger on the pulse.
