Incredible Blogger statistic
I find it amazing that in the space of 10 minutes, 1259 blogs were updated on Blogger.
That's the stat from 5:47 am PDT to 5:56 am.
It might be different now, so I've included the link.
What does this mean? It means that there's a whole lot of folks blogging out there. It doesn't mean that there's a proportional increase in useful information, though. There's no statistic on the signal to noise ratio in blogs. That's because one person's signal is another person's noise.
For example, there are a lot of personal diary-type weblogs out there. Are those "noise?" Some, perhaps. But what about a personal blog that's about someone's effort to quit smoking, or a fight with cancer? Every good story on the web is worth filtering through some noise, in my opinion.
