56 percent of active English-language blogs are spam.

More than 9 out of 10 comments in the blogosphere are spam.

If the blogosphere and the rest of Web 2.0 can't find a way to stop 
the sleaze-balls who are enveloping the Net in a haze of babble and 
cheesy marketing, then the best features of Web 2.0 will be turned 
off, and it will go the way of Usenet, which was driven to desuetude by spam.
