The World Wide Web is expanding more in 2005 than any other year to date, says an article from the BBC News Web site based on a new report from monitoring firm Netcraft. With 17 million sites added just since January, Netcraft estimates there are now 74.4 million Web addresses -- quite an increase from the approximately 19,000 addresses recorded 10 years ago. Netcraft analyst Rich Miller says this year's surge signals an uptick in the number of small enterprises, fueled by the availability of new tools and services that make it easy and cheap to launch a Web business. Growth has also come as a result of the blogging phenomenon, and from registrars making better use of unused domains by asking them to exploit the advertising systems operated by Google and Yahoo.
