The Web's Biggest Time Hogs

The Web's Biggest Time Wasters


Blogging

Some people are private, hiding their thoughts and sentiments, scribbling them away in a journal they keep somewhere hidden and safe. They'd die if someone read it. Others are a little more extroverted, blogging their every thought for the world to see, relishing the attention it gets them. For those others, blogging can become a bit of an addiction, and it seems more and more are becoming similarly afflicted. According to Technorati, a blog search engine, more than 70 million blogs have been created since 2003, with 1.5 million posts coming out every single day. How many of those posts are coming from afflicted blogging addicts is anyone's guess, but examples of and treatments for the compulsion are growing every day.
