The Blogger Addiction

(via Instapundit) Katie Hafner of the New York Times filed this report which profiles some generalities of blogging, with specific anecdotes about several bloggers. Her primary focus is the contention that blogging is an addiction or obsession that can have a dramatic, and sometimes harmful, influence on behavior.

I generally agree with Hafner with one comment. The people who are presumed to be addicted or obsessed with blogging probably exhibited those character traits prior to the advent of blogging. I wouldn't blame weblogs and the Internet for their behavior.

For bloggers, the article is worth a visit.
