Tom Brokaw told me, as I was reading the airline’s magazine yesterday that “by one count, 100,000 new blogs are born every day.”
I glossed over that. I mean, yeah, I know a lot of people do it. Yeah, I read a whole bunch or ‘em. Yeah, I tell people I know they should start one.
But then I began to think of the trajectory. That’s 3 million new blogs a month. At a flat pace, there will be half a billion blogs by the time Tessa graduates from high school. And we know it won’t be a flat pace.
Three years ago, Blog Herald estimated that there were 70 million blogs. How many do you think there are today? I couldn’t find an educated guess. 300 million? Half a billion? More?
Awwwww, man. I’m NEVER going to know everything there is to know.

Actually, maybe you DO already know everything there is to know…
“Awwwww, man. I’m NEVER going to know everything there is to know.”True, but I SO admire you for trying!
I wonder how many of them get started, get one post, and then never return. Though still, that’s a lot of blogs.
It’s a slightly disturbing thought just how much information is out there….never to be read!J
