Wow! Cool. I like the fact of 22 of the most popular websites being blogs, that still gives it a subversive edge, bringing down the big corporates. 12.000,000 million Americans! That might explain somethings about bloggoland, haha. Seriously, it’s great to get some facts, Gwendolyn. Keep up the good work.
I wish I was so optimistic about the subversiveness of blogs as you Paul. Unfortunately, I suspect that those top blogs are corporate–like CNN and Fox News.
Glad you’re interested because I’m working on some posts from sources sited in this post!
Hey- 188K out of 12 million ain’t bad.

!!! i find those numbers hard to believe, especially the 12 million maintaining a blog, i wonder how many of those blogs are repeat users?
i wonder if the growing number of blogs (which in and of itself) will make blogging less “unique” or “special”, which i feel it is
i hope blogging doesn’t become an extension of myspace!
I don’t doubt the 12 million. There are 4.928 million on wordpress alone and it is not the biggest one. (Although I like it the best )

good point. it just sounded like a huge number at first!
yes it does seem like a huge number of blogs–that’s why I included the US census stat of nearly 306 million citizens for contrast.
the thing tho is that while there may be 12 million blogs and nearly 5 million on WP–they are each unique and special
thanks for your contributions to the conversation! as i mentioned before i have a few more posts on the subject coming down the pike…
I wish they were all unique and special-It seems like more and more bloggers are just copy and paste jobs. You know ya gotta keep up with that two post a day quota.
