Blogging reaching its peak In 2007

Blogging may witness its peak time in the year 2007, with the number of blogs leveling out at 100 million. According to technology predictions by analysts at the research company Gartner, almost 200 million people have already stopped writing their blogs. Daryl Plummer, chief Gartner fellow, said that although some people who make a blog get bored and forget about maintaining it, others love it and are committed to keeping it up. "A lot of people have been in and out of this thing," Plummer said, according to BBC. "Everyone thinks they have something to say, until they're put on stage and asked to say it." Last month the blog-tracking firm Technorati reported that nearly 100,000 new blogs were being created every day, and 1.3 million blog posts were written. The firm, which is keeping track of more than 57 million blogs, says around 55% are "active" and updated at least every three months.
