"Technorati just released a report detailing the growth of the blogosphere. They found that a new web log was created every second, totaling 80,000 new blogs every day. Even more interesting was the rise of moblogging (blogging from your phone). Let's just hope a moblogger isn't behind you when you're sitting at a red light.That rate of new blog creation has spurred a doubling of the total blogosphere every 5.5 months, with just over half of them regularly updated. Only 13% were updated on a weekly basis, which many of the 14.2 million blogs and counting are neglected or abandoned once begun. But that's not to say the other half is dropping the ball.

Technorati reports that about 900,000 blog posts are created daily, or to be precise, about 10.4 blog posts per second. Most of the blog posts are created during weekday business hours, between 10AM and 3PM EST. The number of weekend blogo-warriors remains low, and the volume of posts on average is 5-10% less than weekday posts".
