14,200,000

There is a new blog created every second according to Technorati, which now tracks 14.2 million blogs. Do we really need that many?
(cue: comments about how the world might be better without one particular blog).
(cue: comments about how it all used to be fields around here).

If there are 14.2 million blogs, I wonder how many spam comments there are?

    Yeah, but how many get much beyond being started? Or run for a couple of months and then just stop.

    I have lots of blogs. As well as my main writing and photography ones, I have a ‘test’ blog for template fiddlings, plus ‘blogs’ that host pictures of family events and are not crawled by robots or linked from anywhere.

    And I set about six up on blog*spot. Two were abandoned, one was to allow longer entries, one was a ‘test’ and just one links through to my current one.

    According to Technorati, 55% are still being updated after 3 months. So there are still a hell of a lot of blogs.

    The more the better, I figure.
