    A new blog every second! (the state of the blogospere)

     

    Technorati has done another State of the Blogosphere.

    Check it out here: Technorati Weblog: State of the Blogosphere, August 2005

     

    Summary:

    • Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links in July 2005
    • The blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months
    • A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily
    • About 55% of all blogs are active, and that has remained a consistent statistic for at least a year
    • About 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly


    Wow! This is even 'worse' than Moore's law!
    How long will it take before my parents are going to start a weblog?

    Follow this trend (using a 6 months periods in stead of 5.5)
    2005 July      14.2
    2006 Jan       28.4
    2006 July      58.8
    2007 Jan     113.6
    2007 July    227.2
    2008 Jan     908.8
    2008 July   1817.6
    2009 Jan   3635.2
    2009 July  7270.4
    2010 Jan 14540.8


    How long will it take untill this trend is broken?
    Or will my dishwasher get a blog?
    Will it dish me on the web by telling the world I don't do the maintenance according to the manual? :)

    Microsoft and Google Custom Startpages (Google has a RSS aggregator!!)

     

    Google added RSS functionality to there service this week, at last...

    The Googlepersonal page and the Microsoft Start.com site are looking more similar every day!
    Look at the attached photo's for a game of 'find the differences'

    This news will be a hot one on Technorati...

    GridThinking

     
    I launched a new site last night.
    It's called GridThinking and can be found at     www.gridthinking.org.

    Basically this site is about a idea that i had for the last 8 months.
    On 8 November 2004 I listened to the Trade secrets Podacst from Dave Winer and Adam Curry on my way home. This was the monday after Bloggercon 3 and the podcast was a reflection from Dave and Adom on Bloggercon.

    During the podcast I realised there isn’t a good way of combining an ONLINE and a OFFLINE event. And there are no good tools to logically collect all the ideas and feedback that would take place at the event (where a speaker and an audience sits) and from all the people in the world who are participating online.

    This site is also about new ways to connect, sort and group weblog posts (publications).
    The idea is based on a combination of desktop software, social 'tagging and rating' and software algorithms (Datamining/business intelligence) for doing the tagging and rating automatically based on all kinds of related data and information about the person or organisation who did the publication.

    Apple vs Microsoft

    I've noticed that the respect between Apple Users and Microsoft is getting better.

    You got Microsoft fanatics who say Apple is looking good, and you have Apple lovers like Steve Gillmore and Adam Curry who start using Microsoft Tablet PC's. 

    Wow. Who thought of that! Maybe some day Operating Systems will live together in harmony.. 

    But..I run into this news today.  It looks like Apple changes the browsers setting after installing the new OS X updated, calles Tiger . If you got FireFox running, it changes it (back) to Safari!  Hmmm. on purpose?
    Naugty Steve Jobs..  I'm sure he has to explain this in the future...

    Big movement is the World of large software vendors

    By the announcement of a closer corporation between Microsoft and SAP, SAP is keeping the pressure on Oracle.

    This is resulting in a rumour that Oracle is planning to buy SIEBEL just a few months after the bidding war for PeopleSoft..

    No doubt about it... 
    At the end of this year the software market will probably be totally shaken...not stirred.

    Using email worse that smoking weed?

    This post on Shashdot is about an article that concludes that using e-mail, makes your IQ drop 10 points. 


    The Guardian is reporting that a recent study at King's College indicates that the average IQ loss of email users was 10 points (or six points more than cannabis users). Details on The Register as well. The Register has a related story about how computers make kids dumb and an apparent "problem-solving deficit disorder" observed in children who use computers. I thought it was television that rotted your brain?"


    Somebody posted a comment on the article.
    "I bet you lose 20 points for IM"

    Hmmm, maybe he's right.
    And what about reading MSN Spaces, RSS feeds or Blogs.... :)
