This news isn’t really news in the sense of being new, especially to anyone who blogs or gets their information online.  But it’s interesting to see the critical mass of date now collected that supports the notion in the title of this post. Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere serves as the basis for the analysis (and that too shows how news isn’t new – the report has been out for a while; however, to be fair, it’s a voluminous batch of information).

From MediaPost’s blog (of course) (you may have to sign up – I never do when I first click on it in my email but then when I go back to it, sometimes I have to – it’s free but worth it, I see a lot of interesting stuff at MediaPost):

Wikipedia defines the Blogosphere as the collective community of all blogs. interconnected and socially networked. While discussions in the Blogosphere have been used by the media as a gauge of public opinion, Technorati isolates the Active Blogosphere as the ecosystem of interconnected communities of bloggers and readers at the convergence of journalism and conversation.

But, says the study, as the Blogosphere grows in size and influence, the lines between what is a blog and what is a mainstream media site become less clear. Larger blogs are taking on more characteristics of mainstream sites and mainstream sites are incorporating styles and formats from the Blogosphere. In fact, 95% of the top 100 US newspapers have reporter blogs.

Technorati tracked blogs in 81 languages in June 2008, and bloggers from 66 countries across six continents, finding that Bloggers have been at it an average of three years and are collectively creating close to one million posts every day. Blogs have representation in top-10 web site lists across all key categories, and have become integral to the media ecosystem.

    So much of the internet is based on faith and in falsities, that’s very difficult to explain could be said that the programmers control it, and then who controls the programmers. The content is nothing more than the smoke and mirrors.
