State of the Blogosphere

Dave Sifry has published his quarterly State of the Blogosphere report. This is my view of the findings:

• Technorati is now tracking more than 57 million blogs (although only 55% are active)
• The blogosphere is doubling in size approximately every 230 days
• About 100,000 new weblogs are created each day
• About 1.3 million posting are made per day
• There is a strong correlation between frequency of posting and Technorati ranking.

Boy, is the blogosphere getting big. I'm glad I was among the "relatively" early adopters because my ranking, pathetic though it is, still puts me in the top 1% 0f active blogs. Cool. Is it cool to say cool these days?
