Abstract

As of April 2007, Technorati (a world known blogging service) is now tracking over 70 million weblogs, and we're seeing about 120,000 new weblogs being created worldwide each day. That's about 1.4 blogs created every second of every day.

In response to a growing need, we decided to develop an “informal blogging and wiki offering”.
