Business Blogging
Technorati Graph Taken From David Sifry
David Sifry’s been keeping up with blog growth for quite a while, and he’s become the resident expert on the topic, garnering much attention when he releases his latest ‘state of the blogosphere‘.
And, look what Rubel has to say (note the MySpace blog mentions):
- The blogosphere is over 60 times bigger than it was only 3 years ago.
- 75,000 new weblogs created every day
- 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
- Original content greatly outweighs the fake or duplicate content listed on spam blogs
- Daily Posting Volume tracked by Technorati is now over 1.2 Million posts per day
OK, cool. But what about MySpace? The MySpace blogs do not seem to be part of these figures. The growth would be higher.
I’m unclear as to why MySpace blogs are not considered blog if splogs and LiveJournals ARE considered blogs. I am uncomfortable with a blog classification that included a subjective ‘quality’ measure in the classification. What if someone decides that blogs about blogging are not ‘quality’ or blogs about real estate or even blogs that are commercial are not blogs. Slippery slope…
Follow these ‘State of the Blogosphere’ trackings as a way to calculate the reach of blogs across the internet. It gives you a good idea not only of how many people are creating blogs, but how many are reading them and the potential of future growth.
