Oct 2004 State of the Blogosphere: Right now, there are about 12,000 new weblogs being created each day, which means that on average, a new weblog is created every 7.4 seconds. It is important to understand, though, that not all weblogs are regularly posted to - in fact, about 45% of all older weblogs have not had a post in 3 months.
4.6 posts per second: Many of the volume increases were due to political events.
Big Media vs. Blogs: a large number of people are getting news, information, and opinion from outside of the mainstream media, and that these sources are rivaling or exceeding the attention paid to smaller ?professional? sites.
