Death of a Blogger
I’m watching Perez Hilton on CNN being interviewed about the recent NY Times article in which they go into the rise of blogger deaths due to heart attacks and poor health. Perez, a pretty funny guy, starts by saying he is now on a campaign to loose weight due to all he’s gained since he started blogging. He’s even getting his meals brought in so he doesn’t have to push away from the keyboard! Hehehehe… at least I don’t have Avril L. yelling at me.
The NY Times article was interesting. You should take a couple of minutes and take a peak - You can see it here (click).
While it seems like a fluff piece on the surface, I can confess that like others mentioned, I’ve gained some pounds around the middle, just like the rest. Unlike the others, I’m not being pressed to crank out a blog entry several times a day. I’m not being paid by the piece and the blog is not one that generates income. Now the article was not written about our smaller “e-disco” blogospher rather it was about the more general world of blogging for politics and entertainment. However, after reading the article I started a very unscientific scan of my memory banks about some of the others in this legal blogosphere and without naming names, I’m not alone in the weight gain category! All you guys relax.
There is one glaringly obvious criteria where On the Mark differs from Perez Hilton’s blog. He has approximately 8 million visitors to his blog per day!
I don’t.
Not even close.
