#7 dog in fog

This is one dog in the (blog) fog . . . and nothing at all to do with Polish beer.

Something technology-related? Hmmm. . . how about a few fun facts from Technorati, the site originally set up to 'blogwatch'. Here I learnt that there are now about 70 million blogs, appearing at the rate of about 120,000 a day. And there are splogs, the parasites of the blogosphere, appearing much more during the holidays (when the kids are bored and need something to do?). The Japanese seem to be blog-crazy, with 37% of all blogs being in Japanese, followed by English, Chinese and Italian. And I can usefully add that Farsi is number 10.

And then, at the page on popular blogs we have the "most linked to" and the "most favourited". Us blog dogs love the potential of the English language, but George and I were floored to discover that one of the most favourited was a cat blog (#13) - and more highly ranked than Dilbert. Seriously floored! (Any day now, you can meet my friend George). Just so much "stuff"!
