Blogs Continue To Influence The Internet Landscape

Technorati, the pioneering blog search engine announced their take on the blogosphere earlier today in a post by David Sifry. The key points, or what I found interesting were;

*There are currently over 70 million blogs, with 120,00 new ones being created daily, or 1.4 every second.
*People post new content on their blogs 1.5 million times a day or 17 times a second.
*Spam is on the rise with somewhere between 3000 and 7000 new fake blogs being created every day. In December of 2006 there were 11,000 fake blogs created every day.

In February, Over 2.5 million post had tagged content, and 35% of all posts, or 230 million, used tags. These figures do not include the effect of Myspace. There are 250,000 new Myspace accounts created every day. Each one of them comes with a blog.
