Blogging Doesn’t Kill People, Infarctions Kill People
In the world of “professional” journalism, three of anything makes a trend worthy of a reporter’s attention. The latest example is found in the New York Time’s Technology section: In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop
I especially liked this unintentionally hilarious bit from the article:
“I haven’t died yet,†said Michael Arrington, the founder and co-editor of TechCrunch, a popular technology blog. The site has brought in millions in advertising revenue, but there has been a hefty cost. Mr. Arrington says he has gained 30 pounds in the last three years, developed a severe sleeping disorder and turned his home into an office for him and four employees. “At some point, I’ll have a nervous breakdown and be admitted to the hospital, or something else will happen.â€
“This is not sustainable,†he said.
If you know any bloggers, you may want to start planning that intervention — before it’s too late.
