The danger of blogging

A recent article in New York Times on the phenomenon of over-blogging, reposted in The Age here. I suppose as with other things, blogging in moderation should be the case.

Of course, the bloggers could choose other work but they profess to love the nonstop action and the opportunity to create a global media outlet without a major up-front investment. At the same time, some are wondering if something has gone very wrong: in recent months, two among their ranks have died suddenly.

Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the strain of producing news and information for the always-on internet.
