When all is said and done, I am sure Internet historians would look at the history of WWW in two seperate sections - before blogs hit WWW and after blogs hit WWW.
As for this article from David Sifry, founder and CEO of Technorati.com, here are a few highlights:
…
We’re currently seeing anywhere from 8,000-17,000 new weblogs created every single day.
…
On an average weekday, we’re seeing over 15,000 new weblogs created per day. That means that a new weblog is created somewhere in the world every 5.8 seconds.
…
our analyses show that about 45% of the weblogs we track have not had a post in over 3 months…
…
We’re seeing over 275,000 individual posts every day. That means that on average, more than 3 blogs are updated every second.
…
One of the things that drives me personally is that weblogs are turning us all into producers, creators, and participants in our society, not just consumers.
…
A Forrester Research report asked Internet users which activities they were spending less time doing in order to spend time at their computers. 78% of the people polled said that they gave up television viewing. A study from The Georgia Institute of Technology’s Graphic, Visualization and Usability Center showed a clear shift in media habits with more than one third of respondents saying that they “use the Web instead of watching TV on a daily basis.”
…
In short:
Content (especially, good contextually rich content) is indeed the king and as these stats show, the world (specifically, the digital world) is getting truckloads of it every second of the day.
Cool!
