Number of blogs doubles again in last 6 months

35.3 million blogs. That’s the number of blogs being tracked by Technorati, one the largest blog aggregators.

The blogosphere is over 60 times bigger than it was only 3 years ago. And just as happens time and again, the number of blogs doubles 6 months.

This from Technorati head David Sifry’s state of the blogosphere released yesterday. The quick summary:

• Technorati now tracks over 35.3 Million blogs
• The blogosphere is doubling in size every 6 months
• It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago
• On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day
• 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
• Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour

The number of folks calling blogs a fad is on the steep decline.
