The State of the Blogosphere 2009 Edition

Technorati is out with their annual report on the state of blogging. As usual it's packed with statistics. Notably this year it shows how some are taking a hub and spoke approach by promoting their blogs on other social networks.

I was interviewed for the piece, which you can find here. We cover the value of the hub and spoke model, my move to Posterous and lifestreaming and what's next for PR and blogging.

Steve, great comments, but I have to beg to differ on your thought that all the good blog niches are taken. I think there are tons of great niches left, maybe combinations of interests that can be put together to create great new blogs. And we've hardly scratched the surface at the local level.
