This is my thousandth blog post on "Apathetic Lemming of the North: A good enough reason to put several links about the Internet and the blogosphere in one post.
I'd hoped to find some up-to-date information about how many blogs there are now, but what I found was a information that's a few years old. Either people have stopped trying to keep track of the blogosphere's population, or this isn't one of my better days: maybe both.
Here's what I found:
"Yahoo cites huge potential online ad market in declining Microsoft’s bid" InternetRetailer.com (February 19, 2008)
It looks like there are one billion (American definition: 1,000,000,000) people using the Internet these days. That's a lot of people.
"Measuring the Impact of Blogs Requires More Than Counting" Wall Street Journal (May 26, 2005)
There were tens of millions of blogs in 2005: about 3.5 million of which were active; with between 350,000 and 900,000 posts per day.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.

I'm sure there are so many blogs out there that they simply lost count. :)
I hope all has been well and your weekend was great!
One thousand posts! Wow, that's an achievement. :)
Jamie,
It was. Grilling burgers, having a family around me: 'great' is just about the only option.
Javi,
Thanks: Now, for the next milestone. Whatever that will be.
