We’re getting crazy with blogs, no matter the CMS (even if i’m a big WP fan). Anyway it’s time so that the big companies behind the CMS/Searches/such start deleting/de-indexing unuseful information on the net and that includes blogs, because, how many of those 20M wp’s are just spammy,past time dependant or just dead since long time ago? 😐

@Christopher Carfi: We didn’t include self-hosted WordPress (i.e. WordPress.org) because this post was about the hosted WordPress.com service that Automattic runs. For what it’s worth, there were 16.7 million self-hosted WordPress blogs last December (Dec 2010): http://royalpingdom.wpengine.com/2011/01/07/wordpress-com-now-hosts-half-of-all-wordpress-blogs/

It appears that WordPress runs 14% of the top 1,000,000 websites out there (cite: http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_management/all ) and one could probably extrapolate to the overall number of sites that run WordPress, which is way higher than just the hosted sites on WordPress.org.
