Dave Sifry of Technorati issues a new state of the blogosphere report. Here are the significant findings:

* Technorati is tracking over 50M blogs

* The blogosphere is over 100 times larger than 3 years ago

* The blogosphere is doubling every 200 days — slowing somewhat

* As of July, 175,000 new blogs were created every day

* 70% of pings received by Technorati are from known spammers and are blocked

* Postings continue to rise, growing to about 1.6M postings per day, about double the numbers from last year.

* 11 of the top 90 media web sites (measured by links to them) are blogs

* English is currently the #1 language of the blogosphere (or is it Globish?), but not by much: 41% English, 31% Japanese, and 10% Chinese.
