“But the splogosphere is now growing faster”
Wired has a piece up by Charles C. Mann on splogs — spam blogs.
Lots of interesting stats about the blogosphere and how spammers are monkeying around with it to make a quick buck.
The piece also mentions Akismet, the software tool I use now to control comment spam.

This is almost entirely over my head - except for one interesting comment - that the “growth” context of blogs is mitigated by the number of “dead” blogs.

Yes, I noticed that too, Bernita — wouldn’t it be funny if the received wisdom about the explosive growth of the blogosphere turned out to be based on a faulty premise! lol
