How fast is the Blogosphere growing?

From the BBC...

The blogosphere is continuing to grow, with a weblog created every second, according to blog trackers Technorati.

In its latest State of the Blogosphere report, it said the number of blogs it was tracking now stood at more than 14.2m blogs, up from 7.8m in March.

It suggests, on average, the number of blogs is doubling every five months.

Since I personally have to delete dozens of fake spam blog links with spam trackbacks and comments every day, I doubt those numbers are anywhere near accurate, and it makes me question the believability of a reporter who wouldn't have done the little bit of research it would take to find that out.
