Technorati has released its State Of The Blogosphere 2008 report. Interesting to see is the map of US bloggers:
TechCrunch also talks about Technorati’s numbers, in the report and not:
Technorati has indexed a total of 133 million blogs since 2002. In terms of how many are active, 7.5 million blogs have added a new post during […]
Bearing Drift has a new look! Pretty snazzy if you ask me.
