2. Only 16%of the world's population (1 billion people) have internet access.
3. 16% of the world's population is illiterate, which leaves only 840 million readers.
4. Of that, only 20% of the world's population speaks English, leaving 168 million readers.
5. Only 30% of internet users read blogs, leaving 50 million readers.
6. Technorati is currently tracking around 50 million blogs.
7. That's pretty simple math, 50 million blogs for 50 million readers.
