Updated blog numbers from David Sifry

When discussing the impact of newspapers, magazines, radio stations, cell phones, laptops, trade shows, etc. on business, does it matter how many of each of those things there are? We know there are piles and piles and piles of blog, and it's not going to stop growing any time soon.

So it's an interesting little tidbit, but does it matter?

These numbers are a poor way to interpret these results. There *may* be 112M million total blogs but there are only a few million that post in a 60 day time period.

Our numbers show that only 2-4M blogs within a 60 day period have posted at least once post:

To answer Kevin's question, about 11% of those blogs have posted in the last 60 days, making that about 13 million blogs, much more than Kevin's 2-4M estimate.

It is good to know accurate numbers. I have always wondered about the number of abandoned blogs and this hints at the huge number.

Having read some, I'd say that 99% of said blogs are useless tripe, at best.

Kevin is right. The live data is what counts. What I would like to see is Dave's 0data for the last 90 days. That's because the last data he provided us with information, in March 2007, it turned out that 15.5 million blogs were active in the last 90 days, or 21% of all blogs. I'll get Steve to email Dave.
