Well, it appears that being on the "leading edge" is now over!  According to this BBC News article, "there is a blog born every second".  Wow!

Technorati says that the number of blogs, 14.2 million, is up from 7.8 million in March. 

That's a lot of blogs! 

Clearly, this gives new meaning to the phrase " The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here"...
