FYWP!: New Social Media Is Death Of Web Logs

Statistics don't lie.

Automattic tells us that it has seen over 6 million new blogs sign up in the past year and that total pageviews for the year stood at 23 billion, up an impressive 53% from 2009. Media uploads also doubled to 94.5 terabytes of new photos and videos, while new posts were up 110% to 146 million.

So much for the old lame-stream new media.
