Technorati is tracking over 4.1 million blogs and has a median responce time of 7 minutes. That is, 7 minutes after someone blogs something, Technorati knows about it. It's about who is talking about what, and where they are linking however links don't mean truthfulness. Every 5 months the blogosphere is doubling and english is longer the majority, it's still used more than anything else on it's own, but less than 50% of the blogs are now in english. There's about 4 posts a second happening, and there's massive spikes durring some events - After the conventions there was a huge increase in blogs. Likewise with the Nick Berg beheading, the Dean scream, and the Kryptonite bike lock stories. All of these were massive stories and created lots of links, and lots of new blogs.

RSS - 31.2% of blogs have RSS feeds and only 28.2% of RSS feeds are full text feeds. (side note - I blogged about this the other day but I no longer subscribed to anything that doesn't provide a full text feed). The more people that link to you, the more chances you have an RSS feed and that it's full text - perhaps this is because people have more options of how to get your content.

Here's the MP3 of the session.
