World Bloggers

After KF said that Technorati had graphs on blogging demographics, I went to explore the site myself. I found this graph on blog posts by language. The graph is found on this page, you have to scroll down to look at “Posts by Language 2006.” English was still in the top with 39%, followed by Japanese, and Chinese, and well I’m sure everyone here understands how to read a pie graph.

If you read the caveats section (where Technorati explains why this data isn’t perfect), it seems that the language of blogs isn’t all that stable and the numbers seem to jump around a lot. It looks like the number of English blogs is actually increasing (at least from January 2005 to May 2006), which I find strange. I would have thought it would be the opposite. Also the site acknowledges that there are still bugs in the counting program, and that Korean and French blogs are being undercounted.
