Weblog universe divides as expansion slows: study
Online weblogs mushroomed to more than 72 million this year, but growth of the increasingly divided blogging world slowed, an Internet search engine company said on Thursday.
Technorati, which tracks the contents of the online personal journals, said the number around the world surged from eight million in March 2005 to more than 72 million last month.
But the rate at which the "blogosphere" is doubling has slowed from once every six months to once a year, said David Sifry, founder of the San Francisco company.
