blogging by the numbers
From today's USA Today:
Since March 2004, the "blogosphere" has doubled in size every five to seven months. There now are more than 53 million blogs.
Key blog statistics:
150,000 - The number of blogs created each day, or nearly two blogs per second.
1.6 million - The number of daily postings, or more than 66,600 per hour.
39% of the blogs were in English.
31% of the blogs were in Japanese.
12% of the blogs were in Chinese.
2% of the blogs were in Spanish.
40% of those who start a blog are still posting on it three months later. (that means 60% are duds)

It would be interesting to know how many people actually read blogs. I know some become very famous and are followed by thousands of people. Do you have some way of telling how many read your Blogger blogs other than by seeing who comments? Of course, that isn't a very good measure because some don't comment. It would be intresting to know if there are total strangers who happen on to your blog and become "hooked."
I think if my blog were to ever become a dud I would want it to become a milk dud.
