This graph comes from Intelliseek'sblogpulse. It scans all the blog sites it is aware of and graphs the hits for a key word or phrase as a percent of all its blog posts. When I visited, it had discovered 11,254,702 blogs (hmm ... a million more than Sifry's Alerts announced a few days ago.
This graph answers the question: What is the percentage of total blog posts that mention the words "nonprofit organizations" and "blogs"? What has been the trend over the last six months?
Darn it doesn't tell us how many nonprofits are blogging ....
As you can see, at its highest the words "nonprofit organizations" and "blogs" was .0008% of all blog posts and if I didn't have a math phobia I'd try to compute what the .0008% of 11 million was ... (Not sure what these statistic means, but Paris Hilton was only .17% and Michael Jackson .25% compared to the word "shit" which was 5.5%)
I found this while browsing Lisa's blog, when I followed a link to Fispace which is a fascinating example of nonprofit blogging (I need to look at it more closely another day because I had too much fun generating trend graphs of various words) The about page states:
FI Space is a dynamic journal for the discussion of the future, innovation and change pertaining to the American Cancer Society. A dialogue about these topics has been occurring among the members of the Society's Futuring and Innovation Center (FICenter) for some time. FI Space was created to open participation in the discussion to staff and volunteers.
