So it seems:
"According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled."
Via Dustbury, which is still going strong after beginning in, uh, ’96? Really?
UPDATE: Then there’s this:
"Of the 12 million bloggers on the Internet, only about 13% post daily, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Even fewer — 10% — spend 10 or more hours a week on their blogs."
Note that Pew’s total blogs (12 million) does not jibe with Technorati’s (133 million). Oops!
