There were a series of articles on Technorati Weblog by Dave Sifry. The title, the stories with all the fancy graphics only have one points. They wanted to tell us that blogs and bloggers are achieving a significant amount of attention and influence as shown on part 5. And that blogs are rapidly increasing in numbers.
