According to numbers dug up by Mashable, microblogging newcomer Tumblr has just surpassed the 20.7 million blogs hosted by WordPress--explosive growth since it only hosted around 7 million blogs as recently as January.

Exponential growth like this means it's probably just the beginning of many record-breaking events.

For the first time in five years Mininova is about to disappear from the top 10 of most visited torrent sites.

This exit is due to a traffic drop that resulted from the removal of most of the site’s torrents following a lost court battle.

Newcomer KickassTorrents is still gaining momentum and has already surpassed Mininova in terms of traffic.

A casting call has been sent out looking for actors to play the key roles in an upcoming movie based on the high-pitched YouTube star “Fred”.

A new service launching today adds more momentum to the growing “retweets” movement.

Retweeting, as we covered in our article HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter, is becoming an important way to share interesting content on Twitter.
