David Sifry's blog posts on the state of blogosphere are now the webs equivalent of the Halifax House Price Index.

For all you PowerPoint jockeys, here's the numbers for this month
- Technorati is tracking over 35.3 Million blogs
- The blogosphere has been doubling in size every six months
- It is now over 60 times bigger than it was three years ago
- On average, a new weblog is created every second of the day
- 55 per cent of bloggers are still posting three months after their blogs have been created
