Blogging is an International phenomenon

by angela.booth on May 22, 2006

The blogosphere is expanding at a huge rate: it’s still doubling in size every six months. From:
Technorati Weblog: State of the Blogosphere, April 2006 Part 2: On Language and Tagging

  • Technorati now tracks over 35.3 37.3 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

Half the blogs which Technorati tracks use categories or tags. This seems like a huge number of bloggers blogging at a sophisticated level, until you realize that if Technorati tracks them, the blogs have been registered at Technorati.
