Blog resources and stats

Miscellaneous interesting/useful blogs/resources include:

• Guardian Newsblog: Has useful links to different blogs every day.
• David Neiwert, winner of the National Press Club Award for Distinguished Online Journalism in 2000.
• Photoblogs.org – visual diaries, often a picture a day.
• Technorati: "a real-time search engine that keeps track of what is going on in the world of weblogs". Has a nice feature where it lists the top 100 sites, books and news items of the moment (based on blog links). "Technorati tracks over three million weblogs, up from 100,000 two years ago. The Pew Internet study estimates that about 11%, or about 50 million, of Internet users are regular blog readers. A new weblog is created every 5.8 seconds, which means there are about 15,000 new blogs a day. Bloggers — people who write weblogs — update their weblogs regularly; there are about 275,000 posts daily, or about 10,800 blog updates an hour." So now you know.
