MOSCOW. Nov 9 (Interfax) - The number of Russian-language e-diaries, or blogs,
has grown by 2.6 times in 12 months and reached 3.1 million by late September,

"Equal to the situation in April, 2007, Russian language blogs make up a 3%
share of the total number of blogs," the report said. It stressed that the share
of Russians is higher compared to Internet users of other nations.
In this period, the average age of Russian bloggers has increased to 22. The
most popular hosting is LiveInternet.ru, while Livejournal.ru accounts for the
second place, Yandex said.
"In early autumn, after the summer vacations, the number of daily published
notes increased on all hostings," the report said. Every day, about 7,000 blogs
and 210,000 postings appear in the Russian Internet. On the whole, Russian blogs

Currently there are more blogs in Russian than in French, German or
Portuguese, but fewer than in Spanish, Italian, Chinese, English or Japanese.
According to Technocrati.com, the world has 111.2 million blogs, which means
that there is one blog for every 65 people on Earth.
