Technorati tracks 3 million weblogs

Technorati broke past the 3 million weblog mark last night. “On an average weekday, we’re seeing over 15,000 new weblogs created per day. That means that a new weblog is created somewhere in the world every 5.8 seconds.” Technorati pulls new weblogs from sources like weblogs.com and blo.gs. You could of course ping Technorati directly, but I would like to see a more stable what’s new service with the traffic and hosting burdens shouldered by the industry.
