State of the Blogosphere

We’re not the only people who think blogging is a good thing. Try about 35 million others. At least that’s how many blogs David Sifry says there are in his report on the “State of the Blogosphere.” There’s a lot of blogging going on. If you’re looking for some good information on blogging, here’s one to check out. He’s got some nice graphs you might want to look at. Here’s a summary of some of his findings:

  • Technorati now tracks over 35.3 Million blogs
  • The blogosphere is doubling in size every 6 months
  • It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago
  • On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day
  • 19.4 million bloggers (55%) are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
  • Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour
  • Unconventional Communications

    IABC 2006 International ConferenceHere’s some business communicators who are using the new media tools. They’re the International Association of Business Communicators. Their annual convention is coming up in Vancouver, British Columbia. Can’t make it? Me either.

    But you can keep up on it with:

    IABC 2006 Convention Blog: In Session

    IABC 2006 Convention Podcast: ConferenceCast

    I think this should become a “standard” for organizations in the future. It’s a great use of new media tools. You don’t have to do it yourself. That’s why we’re here. Call on the blogging and podcasting experts to help you out.

    Here’s some upcoming projects we’re involved in:

    This week it’s NAMA. Besides AgWired, I’ll be blogging the annual conference on the NAMA Blog.

    In May, it’ll be the Clean Cities Congress where I’ll be blogging it on Domestic Fuel.

    In June it looks like I’ll be blogging the Nashville Fan Fair on AgWired.

    In July it will be the Cattle Indusry Summer Conference on AgWired and Beef Board Meeting.

    August will find me in Norway at the IFAJ Congress and posting on AgWired.

    NAMA Convention Next Week

    NAMA Convention 2006We’re getting ready for the 2006 NAMA Conference and Trade Show. It gets started next Wednesday in Kansas City, MO. We’ll be exhibiting and doing blogging and podcasting demonstrations. If you’re there please stop by.

    I’ll be blogging the conference on AgWired and the NAMA Blog. It’ll be almost as good as being there!

    AgWired BIO 2006 Coverage Sponsored by R&K

    BIO 2006While this website continues to develop I’ll be blogging the BIO 2006 convention in Chicago beginning this weekend. Coverage on AgWired is being made possible by Rhea & Kaiser Marketing Communications. This is our first agency advertiser on AgWired and we’re really looking forward to working with them on the project. We believe AgWired offers agencies an excellent venue to promote their services and create new brand awareness in a very media-rich environment. This is going to be fun.
