Technorati’s Dave Sifry has issued his latest “State of the Blogosphere” report and as impossible as it seems, the blogosphere continues to grow at a heated pace. Technorati currently tracks 34.3 million blogs and 75,000 new blogs are created each day, which means a new legitimate (not spam) blog is created every second of every day.
Technorati tracks 1.2 million posts every day — that’s 50,000 per hour. But, buried in this avalanche are a relatively few active blogs. Sifry says that only 3.9 million bloggers update their blogs every week.
I’d be interested to find out the distribution of readership for blogs…in other words, of all the blogs read every day, how much traffic is accounted for by, say, the top 1000 blogs? My guess is that the vast majority of blog readership goes to a very small handful of blogs.
