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.

    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.

    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).
