Blog search engine Technorati has announced that its database has grown to encompass more than three million blogs. They count more than 275,000 blog posts every day.
The rate of growth they’re seeing is impressive too — 15,000 new blogs created per day. Even with a 45% abandonment rate, which is their estimate, that’s still pretty startling growth. As Sun’s Tim Bray notes, “Iā??ve seen this movie before, and it was ten years ago, and it was called The Web then.”
Posted by Jason Lefkowitz at July 07, 2004What are the implications of this? Complete redefinition of human communication and networking? I'm wondering how exactly the commercial benefits of such large scale growth are going to be sown...

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's. ESPECIALLY not my employer's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. (Unless you consider staying employed in this economy a miracle.) I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
