Comments on: State of the Blogosphere – It’s the trend that is important, not the snapshot http://propr.ca/2006/state-of-the-blogosphere-its-the-trend-that-is-important-not-the-snapshot/ Exploring social media and public relations Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Tamera Kremer http://propr.ca/2006/state-of-the-blogosphere-its-the-trend-that-is-important-not-the-snapshot/comment-page-1/#comment-3563 Tamera Kremer Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:51:22 +0000 http://www.propr.ca/index.php/2006/state-of-the-blogosphere-its-the-trend-that-is-important-not-the-snapshot/#comment-3563 Good points Joe and a valuable conversation to engage in. I agree that disecting differing methodologies are an important aspect of seeing the whole picture, without discounting the individual contributing factors. I would also caution that Technorati has known issues with accurately tracking blogs and not all links/ posts are captured... and of course some of the results captured are from outdated and inactive blogs. I'd like to see more tools such as Technorati developed for tracking and measuring the blogosphere and conversations to increase the accuracy of the data sets.

It's important to know how many are out there. How many are regularly updated, and what areas (education, politics, media, etc.) they are conversating in.
