State of the Live Web
May 17, 2007
This report by Technorati is a survey of social networking on the web in 2007. They are tracking 70 million blogs with 120,000 created every day. Some of the growth in the US is slowing down but elsewhere it is booming. Japan equals the US in the number of blogs. Volume – 1.4 million posts per day and traffic enough to challenge the main stream media.
How about health care? Not really mentioned. I would guess a slower growth rate in blogs and social networking. However, more health IT and physician blogs appear daily. Will try to feature some in the future.
