The blogging phenomenon seems to be spreading like wildfire across the world. Around 10.4 blogs are created every second (on an average) according to findings from Technorati.

  • Technorati is tracking about 900,000 blog posts created every day.
  • That’s about 10.4 blog posts per second, on average.
  • Median time from posting to inclusion in the Technorati index is under 5 minutes.
  • Significant increases in posting volume are due to increased mainstream use of easy hosted tools as well as simple posting interfaces like post-from-IM and moblogging tools.
  • Weekends tend to be slower posting days by about 5-10% of the weekly averages.
  • During the day, posting tends to peak between the hours of 7 a.m. and noon Pacific time (10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Eastern time).
  • Worldwide news events cause ripples through the blogosphere - not only in search volume, but also in posting volume.

 Single post is a single entry to a weblog, whether it be a long essay or just a short entry, each is a post, and the posting volume is the aggregate number of posts per day. Just as it is important to note the increased growth in the number of weblogs out there, it is as or more important to see if blogging is a fad or if people are blogging at a sustained rate. The chart below shows that posting volume has been growing  Blogs Source: http://www.technorati.com/weblog/2005/08/35.html
