Entrepreneur. Mentor. Builder.
My mind is officially blown.
Facebook supports 882 colleges today – there are about 2,000 in the U.S. if you count community colleges. Their goal is to support all of these over time.
The penetration rate is staggering – about 85% of students in supported colleges have a profile up on FaceBook. That’s 3.85 million members. Chris tells me that 60% log in daily. About 85% log in at least once a week, and 93% log in at least once a month.
Just wanted to share these stats about the state of the blogging world. Quite amazing how it is gaining in popularity and soon, podcasting should catch up.
- Technorati now tracks over 27.2 Million blogs
- The blogosphere is doubling in size every 5 and a half months
- It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago
- On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day
- 13.7 million bloggers are still posting 3 months after their blogs are created
- Spings (Spam Pings) can sometimes account for as much as 60% of the total daily pings Technorati receives
- Sophisticated spam management tools eliminate the spings and find that about 9% of new blogs are spam or machine generated
- Technorati tracks about 1.2 Million new blog posts each day, about 50,000 per hour
- Over 81 Million posts with tags since January 2005, increasing by 400,000 per day
- Blog Finder has over 850,000 blogs, and over 2,500 popular categories have attracted a critical mass of topical bloggers

Ok. I love great photography. I really enjoy a man or woman who can take their art to a new level by making people feel the emotion with their photography. Now, I know farm animals are a weird thing to get emotional over, but a lot of these photos are really good!

I dislike friendster. It may have been a brilliant idea when it started, but so far…its getting spanked! Im a member of every Social Network I can find and in all seriousness, friendster makes the least amount of sense. My Space may be clunky and ugly, but at least the buttons are where I think they should be when I need them and I know why I registered. At friendster, I just get confused…in any case, they got more money from Kleiner Perkins and lets hope they spend it wisely.
Friendster picked up yet another round of funding from Kleiner Perkins, adding to the pile of cash that KP, Benchmark Capital, and Battery Ventures have sunk into the dying social site. No one funding Friendster wants to admit it, but Myspace and Facebook have demolished Friendster’s chances of ever turning a profit. And if some conglomerate were foolish enough to buy it? At this point, there’d be so many investors to pay off that the founders will never see a dime.
