Ok, I should have posted this a few weeks ago but I’ve been busy. (Can you tell I’m link dumping today?)
According to Technorati, 175,000 new blogs are born every day. Bloggers post 18 new updates every second.

What exactly makes Technorati so great? I was telling someone who just started a blog about Technorati… they went to the website, but told me they didn’t think it seemed like such a big deal… I wasn’t sure what to tell them… what exactly makes Technorati so special?

To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of Technorati myself. It’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t find it useful. That being said I have registered this blog with Technorati so those users can find me and I quote their statistics about blogs since they’re the only reliable ones I’ve ever seen.
