When someone quotes you a figure for the number of weblogs there are around, you should mentally be subtracting at least a third to account for weblogs that are no longer active – at least according to figures from the NITLE blog census discussed once again by blogcount. I would expect this proportion to rise somewhat over time – at the moment I imagine the weblog phenomenon is still growing fast enough that a large number of users are new ones. If they become disenchanted and the rate of new entries begins to fall the proportion of “live” weblogs to dead ones may fall.
