Lost in the Blogosphere

Just after explaining why I had started blogging, Shirazi covered the other side – the Death of Blogs. And while looking at the mentioned examples, I had the same question in my brain: Why are people counting the number of newly created blogs like Technorati‘ s Chiefmaster Sifry does? Aren’t those blogs which are lost, abandoned and closed more important to count in order to get the final number of blogs that exist – and not just those that matter? And on top of that, please let’s be real – what would these estimated numbers ever explain except the fact that people try to rely on themselves and (secretly) overthrown the classic media companies by being a new media phenomenon.

    That’s true, but the „companies“ battle for power by sheer numbers. I believe it should be considered as much important to count the „abandoned/closed“ blogs along those newly created ones.

    And furthermore, where’s the idea behind counting the new stuff – I can make a new blog each day if I’d like to – but without using them, it’s just another „empty“ or „test entry“ kind of blog… ;)
