August 9, 2006 at 15:43Blogosphere: entertaining arithmetic from Technorati
The blogosphere has grown more than 100 times since 2003, states Technorati in the person of David Sifry. A State of the Blogosphere report said that as of July 2006, there were 50 million blogs. The environment is growing by leaps and bounds, doubling in volume every six months for the third year. Sifrai made a reservation, however: it is unlikely that such growth rates will persist.
“According to the last July, somewhere around 175,000 new blogs appeared every day, that is, two every second,” Sifrai testifies, and then exclaims: “Will I be announcing 100 million blogs in February 2007? Yes, you are kidding! ” In his opinion, development with constant intensity is impossible, and the intensity will soon subside.
Technorati CEO reinforced his words by drawing a growth curve: at the end of 2003, the number of blogs doubled in 40 days. By the beginning of 2004, this period had increased to 4 months. By July 2004, blogs were doing the norm for six months, which, as already mentioned, lasted until July 2006. But now, according to David, blogging will need more time for * 2 - maybe 7 months.
Technorati captures about 1.6 million postings daily, or 18.6 postings per second. The stream of recordings noticeably increases with the advent of vibrant social events. This week most often in blogging topics appeared: AOL, advertising, Bush, Flickr, Hezbollah, Iraq, Iran and Israel. According to BlogPulse, Mel Gibson and Fidel Castro with brother Raul are incredibly popular. Recall, with the news that the Cuban leader is temporarily transferring his powers to his brother Raul, online bookmakers began to accept bets on the exact day of the death of the commandant.
A noticeable change in the size of the "blog nation". English (34%) is losing ground and perhaps Japanese will soon come first (33%).
Sifray also noted that the citation of blogs has increased many times. But the media are still leaders in this regard.
