Météo Blogosphérique au beau fixe : croissance stratosphérique maximale

par francois lamotte le 03 août 2005 à 13:41

David Sifry nous fait un petit résumé de données collectées chez Technorati sur l'état de la blogosphère.

• Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links in July 2005
• The blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months
• A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily
• About 55% of all blogs are active, and that has remained a consistent statistic for at least a year
• About 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly

But the statistics show not everyone who starts a blog stays the course. Although the blogosphere has doubled in size in just over five months, only around half of all blogs are “active” - in other words they have been updated in the past three months - and just 13% are updated every week or more often.

There’s a couple of problems with the stories that are thrown out there every time David Sifry takes an inventory over at Technorati. The numbers have doubled since the last blog-take to the point we now have a blog created every second. That’s no great shakes - it’s just PR for Technorati. And here’s some more Technorati PR - their service has been a little on the poor side as of late

I suppose it’s an issue of hype. The more people waffle on about blogs and their mysterious powers, the more people will be inclined to try them out for themselves. But, blogs only develop powers when you bust a nut getting them to work. It’s also exponential in so much that the more blogs there are, the harder work it gets.
