Latest blog statistics
The latest blog statistics come courtesy of Technorati who now track over 50 million blogs.
Latest statistics from Technorati suggest:
- The Blogosphere is over 100 times bigger than it was just 3 years ago
- Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size every 200 days, or about once every 6 and a half months
- From January 2004 until July 2006, the number of blogs that Technorati tracks has continued to double every 5-7 months
- About 175,000 new weblogs were created each day, which means that on average, there are more than 2 blogs created each second of each day
- About 8 per cent of new blogs get past Technorati's filters, even if it is only for a few hours or days
- About 70 per cent of the pings Technorati receives are from known spam sources, but we drop them before we have to send out a spider to go and index the splog
- Total posting volume of the blogosphere continues to rise, showing about 1.6 million postings per day, or about 18.6 posts per second
- This is about double the volume of about a year ago
- The most prevalent times for English-language posting is between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Pacific time, with an additional spike at around 5 p.m. Pacific time

Two new work-related blogs for the blogroll:

Volume 22 - I'm just a guy stuck in a crappy job in a crappy town (office worker).
