Technorati has published a quarterly report on the development of the blogosphere

The most famous blog search service Technorati has published the next quarterly report on the development of the blogosphere. This statistical report is based on data processed by the service itself.


general Statistics
The blogosphere has become an integral part of the web - this is a fact. Over the past four years that Technorati has been following the blogosphere, it is growing steadily. Now Technorati tracks about 70 million blogs. Every day their number increases by 120 thousand, that is, 1.4 blogs appear every second!

During the last report on the development of the blogosphere in October 2006 , there was a slowdown in doubling the size of the blogosphere. Although this is not surprising, since here we are dealing with the law of large numbers - an increase from 35 million blogs to 70 million blogs is about 320 days, and from 5 million to 10 - about 180 days.


1.5 million messages per day
There is also a slowdown in the growth rate of the number of messages written per day. Although in the days of any upheavals and significant events, one can observe a significant increase in new posts. So, for example, happened last summer, when the conflict broke out between Israel and Hezbollah. The general trend is that the volume of posted messages is growing at a slower rate: 1.5 million messages are being published daily (17 posts per second), and in October 2006, 1.3 million messages were written per day (15 posts per second ).

Blog popularity
In previous reports, Technorati compared the popularity of media sites with blogs. It is worth noting one interesting point - in April 2007, the number of blogs that hit the 100 most popular sites, has increased dramatically. In the third quarter of 2006, 12 blogs hit the “top 100”. In the fourth quarter, 22 blogs were already on this list. It's safe to say that now blogs can, if not push out the media, then certainly stand in the same row with them.



Most popular language
As for the language, most blogs are written in Japanese (37%). This is followed by English-language blogs (36%). The third place is occupied by Chinese blogs with its 8%. Italian blogs in their number overtook the Spaniards (both have about 3%). And on the fifth position, with 2% of the total, are our, native Russian-language blogs.


Tags, tags and tags again ...
Now we can observe a phenomenal increase in the popularity of tags. The explosive growth that we see in the Technorati index is reflected in all social networks of the Network, including Flickr, YouTube and other similar sites.


Technorati currently tracks over 230 million messages using tags or categories. The number of people using tags is also growing at a very fast pace. As of February 2007, 35% of all messages contained tags.


Every month, bloggers are more likely to write tagged posts. About 2.5 million blogs contained at least one tag post, written in February 2007.
