State of Blogosphere: Posting volume 2005

Technorati's David Sifry continues his bi-annual "State of the Blogophere" report, today with an entry on how posting volume has changed this year:

* Technorati is tracking about 900,000 blog posts created every day

* That's about 10.4 blog posts per second, on average

* Median time from posting to inclusion in the Technorati index is under 5 minutes

* Significant increases in posting volume are due to increased mainstream use of easy hosted tools as well as simple posting interfaces like post-from-IM and moblogging tools

* Weekends tend to be slower posting days by about 5-10% of the weekly averages

* During the day, posting tends to peak between the hours of 7AM and noon Pacific time (10AM - 3PM Eastern time)

* Worldwide news events cause ripples through the blogosphere - not only in search volume, but also in posting volume
