Blogging

I found this article really interesting from my current issue of The Atlantic Monthly magazine:

"According to a survey by the magazine Advertising Age, a leading culprit is Weblogs. The survey indicates that one in four U.S. workers reads blog regularly while at work, losing, on average, some nine percent of the workweek. This amounts to 551,000 years of labor lost in 2005 alone. If only blgogers whose words seem so compelling were the ones sending us email: 34 percent of workers surveyed by Information Mapping Inc. reported wasting thirty to sixty minutes a day trying to interpret 'ineffectively written messages' .... Having examined productivity in nine countries, it concludes that 37 percent of the time spent at work is wasted - but that poor management and inadequate supervision are largely to blame."
