Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
There are lots of numbers floating around about blogs, bloggers, and blogging.Dave Sifry, CEO of Technorati has posted "State of the Blogosphere - August 2005". Here are some of the findings:
- total number of blogs (i.e. the blogosphere) is doubling every 5.5 months
- there are now over 14 million blogs
- 80,000 new blogs are being created everyday
- of those, about 55% are considered active (i.e. have a new post within the past 3 months)
- a new Weblog is created every second
Interesting, but look deeper.
55% of blogs are considered "active". That means 45% are not. That's alot. Heck, that's a huge number.
"Active" blogs are considered so if they have a new post within 3 months! Are you kidding? A real blog in my book is one that has posts at least every other day. Once every three months is just a statistic to make blog stats look better. Ridiculous.
There's a lot more, but try these on for starters.
Honestly, don't blog unless you're serious. We are. ghostblogging@veritymedia.com.
