Blogifornia or Bust!

This Geomblog post contains "highly unscientific observations" but nonetheless interesting charts of major blog site statistics. It leaves me guessing the major factors determining the blog traffic indicated by the charts. Pre-election buzz? Rathergate induced public curiosity? There's not much to do when it's cold outside? Is the blogging gold rush waning? Etc. Like everyone else, I wonder how the blogosphere will ultimately shake out.

Note: While spell checking this post with Blogger's spell checker, I find it funny that it doesn't recognize the word 'blog' and suggests 'bloc' instead.

Update: Seems France wants to go with 'bloc' too.
