State of the Blogosphere, Part 2
Part 2 of Technorati's State of the Blogosphere reveals how mainstream media (MSM) has figured out how to use blogging successfully. The top blog sites are mainly from news organizations, such as The New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, USA Today and the BBC. However, new media is represented well, with Yahoo! News, BoingBoing, Engadget, PostSecret, Daily Kos and slashdot showing up.
Among the other findings regarding today's blogsophere from Technorati's David Sifry:• Blogging and Mainstream Media continue to share attention in blogger's and reader's minds, but bloggers are climbing higher of the attention curve.
• Blogs take a more and more significant position as the economics of the mainstream publishing models make it cost prohibitive.
• Bloggers are changing the economics of the trade magazine space, with strong entries covering WiFi, Gadgets, Internet, Photography, Music.
• There is a network effect in the Technorati Top 100 blogs, with a tendency to remain highly linked if the blogger continues to post regularly and with quality content (note: we follow this thinking at the Jointblog).
• The "Magic Middle" (155,000 or so weblogs that have garnered between 20 and 1,000 inbound links) is a realm of topical authority and significant posting and conversation within the blogosphere.
