Blog census

I didn't know about the NITLE Blog Census until I stumbled across it in a Feedster search that turned up this eWeek article:

Blogging is the hottest thing on the Internet since, well, the Web browser. This is not news, as just about everybody who spends time online is maintaining a blog, regularly reading and contributing to a blog, or knows someone who is maintaining or regularly reading and contributing to a blog. And blogs are everywhere. The National Institute for Technology & Liberal Education Blog Census has logged about 1.9 million Weblog sites, 1.2 million of which are in English.

What is news is that bloggers and blogging are killing journalism as we know it. This is scary but not necessarily bad. I'll try to sort it out.

Hi,

The discouraging thing about the blog census data is that its not current -- they last download is from November so what they have on their home page -- well -- is it the november data? Newer data? etc.

Thanks, Scott; that makes a big difference in evaluating its usefulness.
