According to a recent Technorati survey - which is now reportedly keeping track of 57 million+ blogs, "Every day 100,000 new blogs are created and 1.3 million posts are made..."

In an article on the topic from the BBC it was also reported that "Farsi - a Persian language spoken in Iran and Afghanistan - has moved into the top ten languages of the blogosphere for the first time...English and Japanese remain the two most popular languages in the blogosphere. Despite problems for bloggers in China, Chinese remains at number three."

And in yet another article, a survey by British company Netcraft reveals that, "The internet has doubled in size since a May 2004 survey showed 50 million websites. Netcraft's first survey, conducted in August 1995, showed 18,957 websites." There are now more than 100 million websites on the internet - up from 97.9 million in October to 101+ million this month.

Netcraft credited blogs and small business websites as the driving force behind the explosive growth.
