Facts about blogs

Did you know that after reading this sentence, about three new blogs would have been created?

Nearly 80,000 new blogs are created every day, there are some 14.2 million in existence already, 55 percent of which remain active. Some 900,000 new blog postings are added every day, and the blogosphere doubles in size every five and a half months. More than half all blogs last for longer than three months.

Yet just 13 percent of blogs update weekly or more. This blog is one of them.

If the blogosphere continues to expand at this rate, every person who has Internet access will be a blogger before long, if not an actual reader of blogs.
