Talk about just not getting it..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Saw this post over at the J-Walk blog. Apparently, someone has decided to do a study of how much we all read blogs at work:

Workers in the U.S will this year waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs, a study has suggested.

Yup, all those tips, ideas, solutions, and general tech information that you read here, and in many other blogs, is wasted time! Bet you didn’t know that.

You might want to make sure the next time your boss asks you where you heard about a technology, not to mention you read it on a blog. You might get labeled as one of those slacker blog-readers!

    Interesting survey fromGR Business Process Solutions about the various features in the main Office apps and how people use them, or don’t use them.

  • Weekend traffic observations

    Some random thoughts from looking at traffic patterns for this site: Most of you read while you’re working. Not surprisingly, since I mostly blog about work, while I’m working. 🙂 Traffic peaks mid-week generally and drops slightly on Friday before dropping significantly over the weekend. The drop in traffic on weekends is less in the…

  • Blogger changes

    Wow, I went to Blogger this evening and caught a glimpse of their changes. They now support individual archives and comments. Pretty cool. And the layout of the site is entirely different.
