I don’t know how I missed this, but Forbes wrote about “blog power” last month:

Blogs (short for Weblogs) started out mostly as personal Web journals. However, thanks to sites like Google’s Blogger, which allows people to easily create blogs in a matter of minutes, these homespun Internet outposts are rapidly expanding and evolving. At this writing, there are some 14 million blogs, growing at a rate of 12,000 a day. Cumulatively, bloggers post content about 275,000 times per day on nearly every topic or niche imaginable. One study claims that more than 50 million people regularly read blogs.

It’s an excellent read.
