b5media has recently announced that it has broken the 200 blog count mark. In the press release (while quite strange for a network that publishes blogs, is surely a welcome thing), b5medial lauds how it has grown from five blogs in 2005 to a strong 200 today.

CEO Jeremy Wright cites one difference in how they approach blogging.

“Rather than forcing people to drink from the fire hose — blogs that
produce 10 to 15 posts a day — we believe it’s better and easier for
readers if they can go to blogs to quickly get the information they want.
It’s an approach that has clearly resonated with many people given our
network attracts more than three million unique visitors a month.”

b5media says the network is just starting to gain serious momentum, and has “several strategic initiatives in the pipeline that will jump-start growth in a serious way.”
