Technorati has released its State Of The Blogosphere 2008 report.  Interesting to see is the map of US bloggers:

TechCrunch also talks about Technorati’s numbers, in the report and not:

Technorati has indexed a total of 133 million blogs since 2002. In terms of how many are active, 7.5 million blogs have added a new post during the last four months, and 1.5 million have been updated during the last week.

J’s Notes: One in 1.5 Million!

Earlier today I wrote about the bailout at Bearing Drift but forgot to mention one point that the news has reminded me of: in order for the government to fund this bailout it’s going to have to make money.  When the government makes money out of thin air, all money loses value.  Thus inflation.  Thus a record jump in oil prices.  Thus Main Street suffers.
