8M Blogs & Counting
By Mark Evans | March 23, 2005
Technorati.com reports it is tracking more than eight million blogs so we must be onto something good. Then again, Mary Meeker, who was once known as the “Queen as the Internet” believes blogs are huge business opportunity. This should doom blogs given Meeker's dubious record during the dot-com boom. Meeker never met a dot-com she didn't like even if it was burning through venture capital and had no prospects of success. She made a valiant attempt to get her street cred back by jumping on the Chinese dot-com sector but what does a New York-based analyst really know about China. Mary, if you're really into blogs, start one up and show us your “wisdom”. But please stay away from touting the blogosphere as the next big investment opportunity. We've drank the Kool-Aid before and, hopefully, learned out lessons.

I appreciate your skepticism but the number is north of 40 million blogs. Nearly 12 million in South Korea alone.
