For Some, the Blogging Never Stops

As Gomer Pyle was wont to say, "Surprise!, Surprise!, Surprise!" - a major media player is saying "blogging has supplanted e-mail as a way to procrastinate at work", and blogs are mostly "something read by five second cousins and a dog".

They don't get it, and I really don't ever expect them to get it. I can only remind them of Ben Franklin's immortal words: "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own the presses.", and bid them to watch out! They're not the only press in town, anymore.

Millions of the online journals called Web logs have been created, most to be neglected or abandoned. For certain devotees, though, blogging becomes an obsession.
