Signs you’ve been blogging too much
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.

Signs it Might Be Time to Take a Break from Blogging
Darren Rowse at Problogger list “8 signs that it might be time to take a break from blogging”. I can relate to some of them. It seems every time I do something I wonder if I could be blogging it.

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?
December 7th, 2006 at 4:15 am
Who has the time to think out such lists? :-)
December 7th, 2006 at 4:17 am
I found that your points aren’t that effective as mentioned by problogger!
But still, it was nice to read them.

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?

[...] Sam Sethi l’ha usato per far sapere in diretta che era stato licenziato da Arrington di TechCrunch, per essersi rifiutato di togliere un commento negativo su Loic Le Meur e LeWeb3, conferenza sponsorizzata anche da TechCrunch (e a cui Arrington ha dato buca a chi lo aspettava).
