Sifry’s State of the Blogosphere

Chuck Zimmerman

In case you’re wondering if blogging is still all the rage you might want to look at some information from David Sifry, on the “State of the Blogosphere.” There’s a lot of blogging going on. In fact, we just created a new one for ZimmComm New Media. It will focus more on information like this and other things little ole ZimmComm is up to. But back to Sifry. He’s got some nice graphs you might want to look at. Here’s a summary of some of his findings:

  • Technorati now tracks over 35.3 Million blogs
  • The blogosphere is doubling in size every 6 months
  • It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago
  • On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day
  • 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
  • Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour
