David Sifry has released his State of the Blogosphere, October, 2006 . Some of the highlights are the blogosphere continues to be strong with technorati tracking more than 57 Million Blogs. As of October 2006, about 100,000 new weblogs were created each day. The blogosphere is doubling every 236 days with about 1.3 million postings per day.

Sifry’s feels that technorati are better at dealing with Spam blog (splogs) with only about 4% of new blogs that evading technorati filters.

With the genre maturing Sirfry asked “What are the common characteristics of top bloggers?” and examined the posting habits of 3 groups revealing some interesting habits established by popular bloggers.
