To blog or not to blog Is that a question for you? Despite a huge influx of participants, the blogosphere in China is experiencing a small "counter-current" of quitters, spearheaded by celebrity bloggers.

The blogosphere is over 60 times bigger than it was only 3 years ago. New blog creation continues to grow. Technorati currently tracks over 75,000 new weblogs created every day, which means that on average, a new weblog is created every second of every day - and 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created. That's an increase both absolute and relative terms over just 3 months ago, when only 50.5% or 13.7 million blogs were active. In other words, even though there's a reasonable amount of tire-kicking going on, blogging continues to grow as a habitual activity.

根據部落格索引與搜尋公司Technorati的統計，部落格數量每五到六個月便增加一倍。 Technorati創設人David Sifry6日發表的「State of the Blogosphere」（部落格世界報告）截至6日，該公司追蹤的部落格已超過2,700萬，為三年前的60倍，而其中有270萬個部落格至少每週更新，平均每天有120萬新頁面。
