If you think blogs are a fad: think again.

This report about the State of the Blogosphere is insightful as it shows that  English is not largely dominating the blogosphere much longer. Technorati now tracks over 37.3 Million blogs and the blogosphere is doubling in size every 6 months. The blogosphere is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago. 55% of all media authors who created a blog are still posting to it 3 months after  its creation. This report shows that the blogosphere is multilingual, and deeply international. English, while being the language of the majority of early bloggers, has fallen to less than a third of all blog posts in April 2006. Japanese and Chinese language blogging has grown significantly. Japanese, Chinese, English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, and German are the languages with the greatest number of posts tracked by Technorati.
