The Incredible Growing Blogosphere

David Sifrey, the founder and CEO of Technorati, has posted a "State of the Blogosphere" at Sifry's Alerts. The results of his reseach include these stunning facts:

• There are now 27.2 million blogs in existence.
• The blogosphere is 60 times larger than it was 3 years ago.
• The blogosphere is doubling in size every 5 and a 1/2 months.
• Over 75,000 new weblogs are created every day.
• On average, a weblog is created every second of every day.
• There are 1.2 million new blog posts each day, or about 50,000 per hour.

It seems obvious that law students would be well-advised to prepare themselves for blogging, and for studying (and developing) the nascent law of blogging.
