State of the Blogosphere

On July 31, 2006, Technorati tracked its 50 millionth blog.

Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size every 200 days, or about once every 6 and a half months.

As of July 2006, about 175,000 new weblogs were created each day, which means that on average, there are more than 2 blogs created each second of each day.

First off, the total posting volume of the blogosphere continues to rise, showing about 1.6 Million postings per day, or about 18.6 posts per second. This is about double the volume of about a year ago.

50 million blogs and 1.6 mil postings a day. Remind me, what was the world like before blogs?
