Growth of the blogosphere- doubles every 5 months

An interesting report (with a number of interesting graphs....for those with a Gv preference) on the growth of blogging over at Sifry's Alerts.

Here is a snippet from the complete report:
  • "Well, first, the basics. The chart below (above in this blog post) shows the continued growth of the blogosphere. Technorati is now tracking 19.6 Million weblogs, and the total number of weblogs tracked continues to double about every 5 months. This trend has been consistent for at least the last 36 months. In other words, the blogosphere has doubled at least 5 times in the last 3 years. Another way of looking at it is that the blogosphere is now over 30 times as big as it was 3 years ago"
