blogging sprawl: question growth

Via Instapundit, reports that the blogging community is growing like a Quadrant suburb.

Why the numbers might be a bit inflated: most blogs peter out after only three months, and only 13% are updated weekly.

But that's not all. Some people are weird, creating whole new blogs when they should just create a new posting.

Furthermore, spamblogs are cropping up all over the place. They seem to be collections of phrases cut-and-pasted from search engines, nothing more. And yes, they clog up Technorati results.

Don't confuse my skepticism with cynicism, though. I'm so jazzed up about blogging, it's part of my curriculum.
