모든 건강한 생태계에는 기생충이 존재합니다

Listen to article

블로그osphere의 최신 수치와 발전에 대해 언급해 달라는 요청을 받았을 때, 설립자이자 전 테크노라티 CEO인 데이비드 시프리가 한 말이다.

사실상 스팸머 수가 급증하여 블로그 검색 엔진 테크노라티조차도 그들에게 포위된 상태입니다. 모든 검색 엔진에 대한 핑과 업데이트의 99% 이상이 스팸입니다. {출처: BW}

Technorati의 색인상 전체 블로그 수가 1억 1,280 만 개에 달함에도 불구하고, 실제로 활동 중인 (최근 60 일 이내에 업데이트가 있었던) 블로그는 그중 11% 에 불과합니다. 그러나 새로운 블로그 수는 2005 년 하루 평균 4 만 개에서 현재 하루 12 만 개 이상으로 3 배 성장했습니다. 물론 여기에는 스팸 블로그는 포함되지 않았습니다.

제가 가장 흥미롭게 생각하는 것은 89%의 비활성화율입니다. 블로그 작성자의 거의 10명 중 9명은 비활성이거나 아예 블로깅을 중단한 상태이며, 이 비율은 모든 서브 니치나 지역에 적용될 수 있습니다. 다만 이 수치는 상당히 높은 편인 것 같습니다.

다른 우려 사항은 스팸입니다. 99% 이상으로, 이는 미래에 훨씬 더 큰 문제가 될 수 있습니다. 시스템이 마비되고 블로그 서비스가 무릎을 꿇게 만들 수도 있습니다. 결국 스팸이 블로그를 죽일까요? 기생충은 숙주 없이는 살 수 없지만 다른 숙주로 이동할 수도 있습니다.

“Despite the over-all count of 112.8 Million blogs on Technorati’s index, only 11% of them are active (have had any blog updates in the last 60 days).”

If Technorati is basing their ‘active’ figures on the number of blogs that pinged them last 60 days, well that’s very far from the truth. Technorati’s ping started to fail mid of 2007 and they still do not want to admit it.

I gave up on them myself, bad customer service at that… or whatever customer service they have.

They can remove all the blogs that did not ping them from the last 60 days and so, but they should be prepared with thousands of angry blog posts because their ping doesn’t work at all for the majority.

9 out of 10? I didn’t know it was that bad.

Blog platforms like blogger and wordpress should have a policy where inactive blogs are automatically deleted by the system.

I’ve seen people start a blog, go about it for a couple of weeks or so then get tired of it. I guess it’s not for everybody so it seems.

I think technorati should purge blogs that are inactive for about 6 months already. That seems to be a fair deal. It won’t get rid of everything but at least there’s something in place to curb the spamming before it even gets to unmanageable numbers.

I have the same problem as Jhay. It seems that Akismet is tagging the DSL IP address I’m on as a spam source.

Akismet needs to really improve, my comments still are mistaken as spam for almost a week now. :(

I doubt that spam will eventually kill blogging as most of blog providers like WordPress has been persistent on fighting this mess in the form of software updates. well…. I could be wrong…..

What concerns me is the 9 out of 10 mortality rate, its very unusual and is very high.

9 out of 10. That’s a very high “mortality” rate. I wonder what the statistics are like in the Philippines?
