# Technorati Blogosphere Report – 1.3 million new posts per day, so what are people writing about?

Technorati ranks blogs by how many people link to them (similar to how Google ranks pages too). They looked at why some blogs are ranked higher than others. Much of it has to do with posting volume. The top tier bloggers post about twice a day, whereas the lower tier post maybe post once every two days (12 times per month). With all those people writing, the total is about 1.3 million posts a day.

That's a lot of information. [Jeffrey Veen says](http://www.veen.com/jeff/archives/000958.html)now that writing and publishing is a snap for anyone, the question becomes what to write about.

> Now, all that effort the tool companies put into making blogging software usable has made the power of publishing available to anyone and everyone - there are millions and millions of blogs online having a tremendous influence on how we consume and produce media. This has had an interesting if unanticipated affect: now that it's so easy to write online, what should I write about?
