2 million

Tech­no­rati just pas­sed the 2 million mark a few minu­tes ago. That is a good thing, for rea­sons I’ve sta­ted before:

“… if this curve con­ti­nues for another year or two the blo­gosphere will have the popu­la­tion of Dallas or Chi­cago, and perhaps the popu­la­tion of New York or LA a year or two after that. Not a bad demographic.” 

I wrote that 10 days ago, when it pas­sed the 1.9 million mark. Right now Tech­no­rati is gro­wing by 10,000 blogs a day. TEN THOUSAND.
Staggering.

    Do you view blog­ging as a fad? I mean, obviously, all growth peaks, but the ques­tion is whether this is ska­te­boar­ding or disco. One fla­res from time to time but is a legi­timte part of our cul­ture, while the other was huge, and then gone.

    Blog­ging may or may not be a fad. What blog­ging allows peo­ple to do is not a fad.
