2 million
Technorati just passed the 2 million mark a few minutes ago. That is a good thing, for reasons I've stated before:
"... if this curve continues for another year or two the blogosphere will have the population of Dallas or Chicago, and perhaps the population of New York or LA a year or two after that. Not a bad demographic."
I wrote that 10 days ago, when it passed the 1.9 million mark. Right now Technorati is growing by 10,000 blogs a day. TEN THOUSAND.
Staggering.

Do you view blogging as a fad? I mean, obviously, all growth peaks, but the question is whether this is skateboarding or disco. One flares from time to time but is a legitimte part of our culture, while the other was huge, and then gone.
