Blogging to Peak in 2007?


From Ars:

The blogging “trend” could each its peak in 2007, according to a recent Gartner report. The prediction came as part of a larger report of the group’s top 10 predictions for 2007 and beyond, and predicted that the number of active bloggers would hit its all-time high in 2007 and level out soon thereafter.

However, the company says that the number of bloggers has been steadily growing over the years, and will peak at 100 million bloggers next year. Blog tracking site Technorati defines an “active” blog as one that is updated once every three months, and announced that it was tracking 57 million blogs as of this October, making the “blogosphere” over 100 times larger than it was in 2003. The rate of growth has begun to slow though, according to the company—the number of tracked blogs is now only doubling once every seven-and-a-half months or so compared to doubling every six months as it has in the recent past.

Once every three months!? Sheesh. And I stress when I can’t get an update in three times a week.

Would I love to do more? Sure. If someone can find the accompanying time.…
