According to the search engine Technorati, the number of blogs grew from eight million in March 2005 to over 72 million last month worldwide. The number of daily blog posts increased from 500,000 in March 2005 to 1.4 million in March 2006 - meaning 58,000 posts an hour. Talk about posting frequency!
