What is the easiest way to check the current size of the ethereum blockchain?
I'm thinking it would be:
cd <datadir>
du -sh chaindata
Just would like to confirm.

You are right using du -hs ./ethereum/chaindata will gives you the synced blockchain size.

Thanks - I was hoping there'd be an easier way to check this via some type of site like ethstats.net or etherscan.io - doesn't sound like it'd be too hard to implement for those guys and it would be cool to have a quick reference on the current synced chain size without needing a full node– joeb000Oct 19, 2016 at 18:50
There's this site now by Afri that gives you 'current state size' and 'full archive size' (all states). It also has a pretty handy little api for pulling the data.
