Blogosphere Continues to Double Every 6 Months

Sifry’s back with his ‘State of the Blogosphere’ for April 2006:

The number of blogs has multiplied by 60 in the past 3 years.
75,000 new weblogs created every day (1 per second)
19.4 million bloggers (55%) still posting 3 months later (was 50%)
3.9 million bloggers update their blogs at least weekly.
1.2 posts added every day, 50,000 posts/hour (after straining out spam)

Looking at data from bloglines users, we’ve concluded that
– The feeds that really matter (FTRMs) are a very small fraction of blogosphere
– FTRMs double each year, not each six months
– Most users follow a modest number of feeds
For details, see here.
