Ten Million Blogs Tracked
This weekend Technorati tracked its 10 Millionth Blog. It is a chinese blog, on mblogger.cn, and it appears to be a blog talking about glassblowing, with some really cool pictures. Unfortunately I don't read Chinese so I can't tell what the commentary is about, but so far, the blogger has put in short biographical information in English about each glassblower profiled.
Talk about the Long Tail, huh?
What an amazing trip this has been. I'm humbled by the amazing growth of the blogosphere, and the remarkable nature of conversations over the last few years. I would have never guessed when I started Technorati in November 2002 that by putting simple personal publishing tools in the hands of anyone who wanted one would have so many ripple effects around the world. This makes me very grateful to so many people who have so tirelessly evangelized and built great tools - and to the bloggers who used the tools to express their thoughts: Dave Winer, Ben and Mena Trott, Ev Williams, Doc Searls, David Weinberger, Jay Rosen, Jeff Jarvis, Greg Reineker, Robert Scoble, Liz Lawley, Shelley Powers, Chris Locke, Steve Gillmor, Dan Gillmor, Chris Pirillo, Adam Curry, Mary Hodder, Marc Canter, Phillip Pearson, Seb Paquet, Tim Bray, Sam Ruby, Russ Beattie, Cory Doctorow, Esther Dyson, Ben Hammersley, Jason Calcanis, Nick Denton, Loic LeMeur, Buzz Bruggeman, Bob Frankston, Brent Simmons, Ross Mayfield, Kevin Werbach, Rebecca Blood, Mitch Ratcliffe, Denise Howell, Chris Nolan, Howard Rheingold, the list goes on and on. Thanks. I'm sure I'm missing people from this list - it is just what is rolling off the top of my head at 2am, and sorry for not linking to everyone, it's way too late - and I've got to get to sleep for my presentation.
Thanks for all of the amazing stuff you've built, and said, and done.
The reason why I created Technorati in the first place - I wanted to know who was talking about me and the things I cared about - hasn't changed. And I'm really grateful to be working with a group of people who really take our motto to heart: Be Of Service. It provides me with a drop of joy and a lot of wonder that we've been able to contribute our small part to the greater good, and to help people make sense out of all of this remarkable creativity in the blogosphere. I sincerely hope that we can continue to be of service.
I'll be talking about a bunch of this stuff Monday at Personal Democracy Forum in Manhattan at around 10AM. If you're in town, drop on by!

Thanks you Technorati. I use it extensively in my blog, to my advantage.
Congratulations. Ten million is a good number, whatever currency it denotes. The next landmark will be when you're out there as numero uno.
What do spam bloggers know that legitmate bloggers don't? I'm one of the many who feels frustrated at Technorati's lag in indexing, in spite of my continual efforts to provide real content. Every single one of my posts links somehow to Technorati tags, but I can't get the system to recognize I've claimed my 2nd blog or added new posts, even after following directions to the letter by pinging and jumping through HTML hoops. What's more outrageous is how quickly spammers manage to get their blogs indexed in Technorati, ahead of those dedicated bloggers posting conscientiously. All one has to do is search Technorati on the keyword "gevalia" to see what I mean.
Congratulations to you and the team on another well-deserved milestone...great stuff.

Congratulations! I wonder if you have any stats on what percentage of the 10 mil are active?
Why you didn't give the address of the weblog?
The address is in the link under "10 millionth blog", which actually has english contents for some entries.
(May peace be upon you)

country.
As soon as I receive your urgent reply indicating your interest to
assist me to successfully collect the money from the security firm then
I
will provide you with further details.

Are these blogs or blog entries?
It would be really surprising if there are over 10 million bloggers worldwide.
Yes there are one blogs with multiple authors and multiple blogs with single author factor too. But that is reasonably a small fraction and cancels each other out to some extent.
The key question is how a blog is identified. If counting the RSS/Atom feeds is done to estimate blog count then it is highly inaccurate.
WordPress sites for example provides feeds for blogs, each categories, each posts and each comments! That's a whole lot of feeds comming from the same blog. Not to mention three varieties are published - RSS 0.92, RSS 2 & Atom 0.3.
Other blog/cms software provides multiple feeds too.
Are such factors considered in making claims of blogs tracked?
10 million Congratulations!
It's amazing that Technorati could eventually be as big as Google, seeing that in the near future almost every website will change into a blog of some sort.
Technorati revolutionized my blogging !
Thanks Dave and all the others !
Thank you for Technorati! Now I know who gives two cents about my blog and how I can improve it.
Yep, you should defintely try to improve it ;-) No I am kidding, but this blog here is a milestone..

I'm founder and CEO of Technorati. I was the cofounder and CTO of Sputnik and Linuxcare, founding board member of Linux International, and board member of AOTC. I've been around the block a few
times. Some might call me a serial entrepreneur. A more personal but less-updated site has more information about me - pictures, speeches, software, etc. You can contact me at david-blog@sifry.com.
