60% of all the weblogs, active and dead, were updated within the last three weeks.
16% are out of date
8% were a blog with just test posts
4% were declared abandoned by the author
4% were no longer reachable
2% were misidentified as blogs by the census machine "

Weblogs, and Inequality

Shirky: The FCC, Weblogs, and Inequality:

"The FCC, Weblogs, and Inequality
First published June 3, 2003 on the 'Networks, Economics, and Culture' mailing list.

It's not clear whether the effects of the ruling will be catastrophic or relatively unimportant, and there are smart people on both sides of that question. It is also unclear what effect the internet had on the FCC's ruling, or what role it will play now. "
