Toby tipped me off to the Blogging Family Tree. Apparently, I'm a blog daddy.

Thanks to Karen Post for this link to the latest "blogs will ruin your life" article on AdAge.com.

WHAT BLOGS COST AMERICAN BUSINESS
In 2005, Employees Will Waste 551,000 Work Years Reading Them

I say, so f--ing what. We've been screwing off for years with junk emails and funny videos and other crap like that. Blogs are just replacing that, and more.

Apparently, there's a lot of blogging going on during the workday that shouldn't be...

And they create and post to them. Technorati, a blog search engine, now tracks 19.6 million blogs, a number that has doubled about every five months for the past three years. If that growth were to continue, all 6.7 billion people on the planet will have a blog by April 2009. Imagine the work that won’t get done then.

Some employers are more draconian than others in their blockage of blogs. I recall as early as January 2005 that my former employer had blocked all things blogs, and lots of other useful content on the web.

Edelman and Technorati have published the results of their recent survey.

If you’re interested in survey methodology and how the media are reporting on surveys, check out Constantin Basturea's analysis. He also provides a thorough list of links to related discussions on the Edelman/Technorati study.

I haven't personally tried this one yet, but it looks as if FeedShot has a 'blog search submission' service that gets your blog/feed URL into all of the 50+ blog related or specific search engines.

Anyone have experience with this one yet?
