Dave Sifry, who heads up Technorati, has started another edition of his State of the Blogosphere series. Today he shows that the blogosphere is doubling every 5 months. Technorati is now tracking up to 19.6m blogs, meaning sometime this week they’ll hit the big 20m, since it was 19.1m last Tuesday when we held our Blogging seminar.

He also shows the peaks in posts around key news events. Bear in mind that the fact there are more blogs out there reflects the increased number of posts as you move to the right of the graph, rather than the relative importance of each event. Still interesting to see bloggers break, analyze and dissect the news.
