Technorati - State of the Blogosphere 2008

Technorati has released the first part (five parts over five days) or their yearly State of the Blogosphere. Already some interesting stats but what I most look forward to is, "For the first time, we (Technorati) surveyed bloggers directly about the role of blogging in their lives, the tools, time, and resources used to produce their blogs, and how blogging has impacted them personally, professionally, and financially. Our bloggers were generous with their thoughts and insights."

Obviously more information to come but I am curious from the members here, if you blog, how much time do you spend doing so. And, for everyone, how much time do you spend reading blogs and how many different blogs do you read?

Feel free to chime in regarding any other topics you read throughout the week.
