Updating Blogs

David Sifry has a report, the second in a series analyzing Technorati blogosphere data, indicating that only a bit more than half (19.4 million) of the blogs tracked (37.3 million) get updated regularly 3 months after launch. Sifry goes on to point out that Technorati tracks about 1.2 million new postings a day - almost 6% of those 19.4 million working blogs.

Of course, we can't know if that's one (very tired) blogger updating his or her blog 1.2 million times in a day, or 1.2 million bloggers updating once - the truth is somewhere in-between. Is 6% a good number? Does it matter, or will we continue to have an ever-increasing amount of link-rot in the blogosphere. Think digital kudzu and search engines as the machete...
