The blogging phenomenon is set to peak in 2007, according to technology predictions by analysts Gartner. The analysts said that during the middle of next year the number of blogs will level out at about 100 million.
The firm has said that 200 million people have already stopped writing their blogs...
Last month blog tracking firm Technorati reported that 100,000 new blogs were being created every day, and 1.3 million blog posts were written.
Technorati is tracking more than 57 million blogs, of which it believes around 55% are "active" and updated at least every three months.
Gartner also predicted that:
· By 2010, the average total cost of ownership of new PCs will fall by 50%
· By 2010, 60% of the worldwide cellular population will be "trackable" via an emerging "follow-me internet"
· By the end of 2007, 75% of enterprises will be infected with undetected, financially motivated, targeted malware that evaded their traditional perimeter and host defences
The last prediction could very well turn out to be real threat- as hackers are already recruiting sleeper cells it seems.
