TheNextWeb.org: Moving up in the world!

Written on May 27, 2008 – 2:52 pm
Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten,

The Next Web - Now! on Technorati According to Technorati there are more than 120 million blogs, up from 100,000 in 2003. Starting a blog is easy but maintaining it is harder. Only 7 million are actively updated at least every 3 months.

“Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has.”

As you know this blog is updated every day and 7 days a week since we officially launched on January 7, 2008 and it seems that we are doing a good job because today we entered the ‘top 5000′ of the most authoritative blogs in the world.

We still have a long way to go (our rank is Rank: 4,564 so there are still 4463 in front of us) until we make it to the top 100 blogs. But we can dream, right?

I always look for the Olsen twins and end up at new media weblogs.

Yeah that is weird isn’t it!

The funny thing is that we get a lot of visitors that way but I can never replicate the search.

If your company is looking for a more efficient and effective way of communicating as a group with numerous offices around the country, web conferencing is just what you need. Not only will you be able to communicate orally and well as visually, you will save everyone the hassle of calling in or waiting to be called. This will save your company precious time and money in the long run. So whether you are a small or large business web conferencing is the wave of the future when it comes to around the country board meetings or simply bouncing ideas off one another.
