A New Blog Every Second

According to a new Technorati study there is a new blog born every second. What does this mean? Well it amazing when you consider ten years ago blogging didn't exist and today blogs are doubling number every five months. From Technorati:

As of the end of July 2005, Technorati was tracking over 14.2 million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links. Interestingly, this is just about double the number of blogs that we were tracking 5 months ago. 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.
