Blogs... just how many?

Have you ever wondered just how many blogs out there in the cyber space? Must be a lot isn't it. Here are some numbers I quoted from an October issue of IEEE Spectrum (pg 60):

- blog search engine Technorati tracks nearly 100 million blogs;
- nearly 200, 000 new ones added every day;
- according to market research firm Gartner (Stamford, CT), there are more than 200 millions abandoned blogs.

Some numbers for you to digest. Does anyone have similar numbers for social networking sites? I could remember e-group, yahoo group, hi5, friendster, MySpace, facebook and most recently OpenSocial (google's initiative)? How many are active and how many are abandoned?
