Technorati hasn't updated their state of the blogosphere data in a long while. This probably because the numbers really don't matter any more. The field has widened now to include channels like Twitter, Jaiku, Facebook, Qik and dozens more places where people create content.
Still, they did quietly give BusinessWeek some updated figures.
Technorati now says they have indexed 112M blogs with 120,000 new ones being added each day, according to founder David Sifry. About 13M blogs have updated in the last 60 days. Alarmingly, some 99% of all pings to Technorati are spam.
So what does this mean? That Google is losing the war against spam blogs, despite their best efforts.
