Over the past 2 1/2 years, the number of blogs that Technorati tracks has continued to double every 5-7 months (graphic).
In terms of linkages and blog mentions, a few uber-bloggers (i.e., Boing Boing) rival the mainstream media in influence (graphic).
English is once again the top language in the blogosphere, but barely. (In April, Japanese was numero uno.)
"About 70% of the pings Technorati receives are from known spam sources, but we drop them before we have to send out a spider to go and index the splog."
