MSN Spaces Now At 27 Million Blogs, 7.6 Active Bloggers

Microsoft’s blogging service has grown from an estimaited 18 million blogs in October to 27 million blogs and at least 7.6 million active bloggers, according to Dare Obasanjo from Microsoft in a post discussing server issues.

The service still remains in third position amongst blog providers, with Xanga and MySpace both believed to be hosting 40 million blogs each.

(note: calculations based on this line: “I never expected [Spaces] that we’d grow to be three times as big [as Live Journal] and three times as active within a year.)
