All Typed Out?
Are you a blogger? if so, you’re in good company. Blog search engine Technorati pegged the number of active blogs at around 56 million this past October. By January 2007 that number had grown to 63.2 million, with 175,000 new blogs begun each day.
Sounds like a big number, but it turns out that the graveyard of the blogosphere is even bigger. Half of all new bloggers abandon ship within three months, Technorati estimates. And last December, research firm Gartner calculated the total number of dead, abandoned blogs at more than 200 million. Gartner went on to forecast that the total number of active blogs would peak at 100 million in 2007 before dropping back and leveling off at around 30 million.
I’ve been blogging way past the 3 month mark.
I’ve had a blogsite for more than 4 years.
How about you?
