Blogging ’set to peak next year’

The blogging phenomenon is set to peak in 2007, according to technology predictions by analysts Gartner. The analysts said that during the middle of next year the number of blogs will level out at about 100m. The firm has said that 200m people have already stopped writing their blogs. Gartner analyst Daryl Plummer said the reason for the levelling off in blogging was due to the fact that most people who would ever start a web blog had already done so. He said those who loved blogging were committed to keeping it up, while others had become bored and moved on. Last month blog tracking firm Technorati reported that 100,000 new blogs were being created every day, and 1.3m blog posts were written. Technorati is tracking more than 57m blogs, of which it believes around 55 per cent are ‘active’ and updated at least every three months. (BBC News, December 15, 2006)
