State of the Blogosphere: As of the end of July 2005, Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links.

In March 2005 we were tracking 7.8 million blogs, which means the blogosphere has just about doubled again in the past 5 months, and that the blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months.

Do we need Newspapers anymore? Newspapers may be forced to adopt the approach of magazines in narrowing their focus, rather than the one-size-fits-all broadsheet approach. This might mean demographically focused papers, and smaller, faster editions.
