Blogosphere 100 Times Bigger than in 2003

David Sifry has updated his State of the Blogosphere and reveals what’s been happening in the past 3 months.

Some of the new details include:

* Technorati is now tracking over 50 Million Blogs.
* The Blogosphere is over 100 times bigger than it was just 3 years ago.
* Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size every 200 days, or about once every 6 and a half months.

It’s still quite amazing how fast blogging continues to grow. As a market grows, it becomes more and more difficult to show any percentage gain. While the blogosphere growth does appear to be slowing – doubling every 6.5 months as opposed to 5.5 months last year – it’s still growing at a phenomenal rate.
