O estado da blogosfera

O fundador do Technorati publica uma análise da blogosfera. Eis o sumário:

- Technorati now tracks over 35.3 Million blogs

- The blogosphere is doubling in size every 6 months

- It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago

- On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day

- 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created

- Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour

- 3.9 million bloggers update their blogs at least weekly

Breves comentários:

There has been an increase in the overall noise level in the blogosphere during 2006, but aside from a few notable spam storms (…), the high level of interesting, original content being created greatly outweighs the fake or duplicate content listed on splogs.

Conteúdo original não significa interessante ou de qualidade. O facto de não ser spam, não quer dizer que não seja ruído. Na minha opinião, a blogosfera está cheia dele, a começar pelos blogs que mantêm o conteúdo mínimo para tentar ganhar dinheiro via publicidade.

It certainly appears that technology product launches attract great interest in the blogosphere - seems that we just can’t restrain our inner geekiness when products like the iPod Video and the Intel Macintoshes were launched

Será que muita da blogosfera ainda é de geeks-para-geeks?
