We also allow people to easily delete their blogs, which we don't count toward our total blog number either. We <a href="http://wordpress.com/stats/signups/" rel="nofollow">publish all of the stats for this</a>. If you count users instead of blogs, we're actually closer to 1.1 million.

Speaking as a WP and Six Apart blogger, Six Apart's Movable Type is licensed software. I don't think Six Apart can even measure how many blogs are created by their customers who own the software. Add all of those millions of MT blogs into the mix, and Word Press fluffy self-promotion may not seem like such a big deal. Let’s be fair with our statistics.

About Comscore: I have no idea how they count, but their numbers look US only and very inaccurate in our case. According to our internal stats, we've got 12 million monthly US uniques, double what Comscore suggests, and 45 million worldwide. QuantCast tracks us more accurately: http://quantcast.com/wordpress.com. Also to clarify, we're hitting 1 million blogs on WordPress.com which is about 18 months old. There are lots of additional self hosted blogs that use WordPress.org open source software, which is about to celebrate it's 4th anniversary. Thanks for the writeup Mike!

And the only way to get that APi key is to sign up with WordPress.com. So if we want to analyze signups, we ought to focus on active accounts.

Kudos to Wordpress for their growth, but at the end of the day. . .phones and blogs, folks. You have to connect the mobile phone to the blog, with privacy and control for both the blogger and the caller. That sorta innovation is what will take blogging -- no, social networking -- no, communicating, period -- to the next stage. That's why we'll trumpet Six Apart here, for having the foresight to do it. Anyone online can connect via mobile phone now with Jangl, but Typepad was the first to step up and say, "yes" -- and they get some credit for that, in our camp and many other camps. Even our CEO has been blogging in Typepad, long before we were featured there. There's some real brilliance going on here with blogging platforms, and I'd expect we're going to see a lot more -- voice, yes, but even more -- in coming months. Congrats again to Wordpress.
