Blogging…

Acording to the BBC – Blogging ‘set to peak next year’

Blogging is having a growing impact on mainstream media
The blogging phenomenon is set to peak in 2007, according to technology predictions by analysts Gartner.
The analysts said that during the middle of next year the number of blogs will level out at about 100 million.
The firm has said that 200 million people have already stopped writing their blogs.
Gartner analyst Daryl Plummer said the reason for the levelling off in blogging was due to the fact that most people who would ever start a web blog had already done so.
He said those who loved blogging were committed to keeping it up, while others had become bored and moved on.

A lot of people have been in and out of this thing
Daryl Plummer, Gartner

“A lot of people have been in and out of this thing,” Mr Plummer said.
“Everyone thinks they have something to say, until they’re put on stage and asked to say it.”
Last month blog tracking firm Technorati reported that 100,000 new blogs were being created every day, and 1.3 million blog posts were written.
Technorati is tracking more than 57 million blogs, of which it believes around 55% are “active” and updated at least every three months.

are you serious…

An American Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Nashville after passengers reported the smell of sulphur from burning matches.
The matches were found on the seat of a woman who had attempted to conceal the odour of flatulence with the matches, Nashville airport authorities said.

All 99 passengers and five crew left the plane while it was searched.

The woman was questioned by the FBI but released without charge and allowed to board another American Airlines flight.

“It was determined that she was trying to conceal body odour,” said Lynne Lowrance of the Nashville Airport Authority.

She had “no malicious intent but had struck matches which is against [Transport Security Administration] rules,” Ms Lowrance said.

The unidentified woman had an unspecified medical condition, Associated Press news agency said.

She was carrying safety matches, which the TSA allows in carry-on luggage.

The matches are not allowed to be struck, however.
