I stumbled across the Technorati State of the Blogosphere 2008 report tonight, and it’s fascinating. I’m not sure whether I’m surprised or not in the general volume of blog traffic, but there are some interesting statistics to be taken note of.
Firstly, some stats from other sources:
comScore MediaMetrix (August 2008)
Blogs: 77.7 million unique visitors in the USFacebook: 41.0 million | MySpace 75.1 millionTotal internet audience 188.9 million
eMarketer (May 2008)
94.1 million US blog readers in 2007 (50% of Internet users)22.6 million US bloggers in 2007 (12%)
Universal McCann (March 2008)
184 million WW have started a blog | 26.4 US346 million WW read blogs | 60.3 US77% of active Internet users read blogs
From reading over some of these stats, I really do feel like this is a great thing to do in
service to our Lord. Perhaps some of these stats might shape the direction of our blogs and link into what’s going on in the blogging world around us!
