An interesting contrarian view on blogs via Jason Kottke.
"Kevin Burton looks at the Technorati "data"
and discovers that since the number of daily postings is growing
linearly, the number of active blogs is probably growing lineary
too…which means that the exponential growth of the blogosphere touted
repeatedly by Technorati and parroted by mainstream media outlets is
actually the growth of dead blogs."
This is something I’ve been wondering about for some time. Technorati’s ‘State of the Blogosphere,’ while correct in stating that the number of blogs is growing, has always overstated the amount of influence these blogs have. What is growing the most is the number of dead blogs. And as most people know, dead blogs don’t catch many eyes.
