Signs you’ve been blogging too much

by on December 6, 2006

Nice list over on Darren’s blog of signs you need a break from your blog. But I’ll add:

#9: you blog about blogging.
#10: you attack an A-lister by saying he’s an echo-chamber enabler and only writes to get on TechMeme.
#11: you say “TechCrunch this” and “TechCrunch that.”
#12: you go to Twitter and write “I’m blogging.”
#13: you tell your boss you aren’t merely reading blogs, you’re doing customer research.
#14: you have taken your son to so many blogger meetups that he starts his own blog to protest.
#15: you know the CPMs of a dozen other bloggers’ ads.
#16: when you say “Nick” “Om” “Mike” “Shelley” everyone around you knows who you are talking about.

  • #15 makes me laugh. I can remember you calculating my CPM in your head at the Aussie bar.
  • Hahaha!
  • nice list! Of course none of it applies to me....
  • There was a good postsecret a few months back on blogger's remorse:

  • God, my problem is the opposite - I blog too infrequently! My little blog over there is just a source of guilt, right now.
  • This is a great and fun list.

    Who could have too much blogging?!! :)

    hmm.. what about I wonder what Darren would say about this?
  • Who has the time to think out such lists? :-)
  • I found that your points aren't that effective as mentioned by problogger!

    But still, it was nice to read them.
  • dn
    17 you use/acknowledge and believe the term 'A-lister' when referring to bloggers.
  • blogger@wordpress
    #18 ) You either absolutely adore Robert Scoble or hate him like nothing before
  • #16: that sounds like Maryam! ;-)
  • Heh, I've definitely done about half the things on that list.

    And now I have the urge to blog about your blogging list but I'm going to resist (since that falls under the banner of blogging about blogging).
  • I have resisted the urge to do #12 various times. :o)
  • Oh dear, I was about to blog about blogging this morning.
    You've put me off now.
    But then I had to mention your post as to why I wasn't blogging!
    So is that a post about blogging or about not blogging?
