Sifry from Technorati has apologised for outages at Technorati due to growing pains: we say he has no need to apologise. Technorati has become an essential tool in tracking who’s linking to who in the blogosphere, and now indexes well over a million blogs. What is also amazing is that he reports that they are now adding between 8000 to 9000 new blogs per day, meaning on average, a brand new weblog is created every 11 seconds with 100,000 weblogs updating every day as well, so that on average, a weblog is updated every 0.86 seconds. Keep up the good work Sifry.
