WSJ.com stat guru Carl Bialik digs further into the reported numbers of blogs and blog readers.
One important point he makes is that many of the reported 11 million blogs are either abandoned and more are private. He cites the number of daily postings as a stat to consider watching.
Right now Technorati is seeing daily volume at 800,000 to 900,000 posts, while BlogPulse counts between 350,000 and 450,000 posts/day.
Still, to me this discussion, while fun, is kinda irrelevant. The fact that the media keep debating these numbers and citing blogs shows they are important. 'Nuf said.
