Yeah, and I am sure one blog dies every second and a half...

I must of started 7 blogs this year... and just forgot about them after a couple of days

 

That's 31,536,000 new blogs made a year. If thats correct, then 30 million die a year.

 

I'm willing to bet that more than 5 out of every 10 new blogs created are pure spam blogs.

How many blogs on meso does the world really need?

I bet its more like 8 or 9 out of 10. That's the problem with that "stat" it doesn't really count good or informative blogs. It counts every POS blog that is created. Blogging is just the new way to make a practically free website without having to put up any unique content.

 

A lot of people try out a lot of sites, especially blogging sites, wouldn't surprise me if their retainability was extremely low, but at that sort of a signup rate, I guess it really doesn't matter too much, because those that aren't active, will be eventually replaced by ones that are, I suppose.

 

they have blogs on the internet now

 

To add to the discussion here's some stats from LiveJournal:
* Total accounts: 7,991,766
* ... active in some way: 2,608,175
* ... that have ever updated: 5,612,969
* ... updating in last 30 days: 1,430,672
* ... updating in last 7 days: 866,406
* ... updating in past 24 hours: 287,115
