Part of it is that websites are easier to set up now than ever before thanks 
to the blogging tools they mentioned in the article.  Netcraft may need to 
tweak their definition of what a website is thanks to that.  Is 
fredbob.typepad.com (5 page views/day) equal to mfrost.typepad.com (~50,000 
page views/day)?  No, but they almost certainly both count as 1 website.

I hope this is the case, but I don't think it really is.  Remember that there 
are a lot of people out there who don't understand tech yet are managing it.
