How to know if you are a Blogging Addict
5 Comments
I have met some bloggers out there and they are all interesting in their own way. Anybody who is excited to put their ideas, pictures, random thoughts, ramblings on the web for anyone to see has to be partly nuts. Some give it a go for a short time and find it taxing to regularly write things the whole world can see and a few might find interest. Others become addicted to blogging. It is these cats that I write about.
Top Ten Signs You are a Blogging Addict
1. You technorati yourself daily
2. You prefer blog commenting over actually talking to people
3. You have thought about live blogging your "interactive marital event"
4. You call other bloggers by their blog names, "Hey Tall Skinny Kiwi"
5. You think about blog subjects while on the toilet
6. You have more than ten RSS Feeds in which you subscribe
7. You have commented on your own blog with a pseudonym
8. You tell friends you could quit blogging anytime you want
9. You have blogged from your cell phone
10. You are not satisfied with blogging. Now you are a twitter

1. Yep
2. No
3. No
4. Of course, but I defend this - this is part of geek culture
5. The toilet is where I read. Thinking about blog topics is for the rest of the time.
6. More than 10? If you have less than 10, I'd say you're not even a real blogger. Currently, I have over 400.
7. No (dishonest)
8. Yep
9. Nope.
10. NO time for twitter.
But here are some other indications:
1. You run more than two blogs (I have 7)
2. You've downloaded or use a blogging tool that allows you to post to any of your blog sites (see above) without having to log into differing system (e.g. blogjet or my fav, blogdesk (free)
3. You feel like you don't have enough time to blog
4. Your spouse suggests that you are addicted
5. You blog at work instead of working
