Blogosphere Growth

Technorati reported in their February 2006 stats that:

-Technorati now tracks over 27.2 Million blogs
-The blogosphere is doubling in size every 5 and a half 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
-13.7 million bloggers are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
-Spings (Spam Pings) can sometimes account for as much as 60% of the total daily pings Technorati receives
-Sophisticated spam management tools eliminate the spings and find that about 9% of new blogs are spam or machine generated
-Technorati tracks about 1.2 million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour
-Over 81 million posts with tags since January 2005, increasing by 400,000 per day
-Blog Finder has over 850,000 blogs, and over 2,500 popular categories have attracted a critical mass of topical bloggers

So what are we doing with all this information that is becoming available. OK I know some of it is either rubbish or not interesting to me (I don't read the numerous teen blogs for example) but how am I ever going to read it all if more of the people I admire start blogging. There are only so many hours in the day after all.
