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!

    Darn it, someone’s been keeping track of my helpdesk tickets and putting them on-line under the pseudonym The Chronicles of George. I need to find out who’s doing that! Seriously though, we had a good time laughing about this at work today, all under the guise of learning how NOT to enter information in the…

    Doc and the rest of the Cox Cable systems users seem to be having problems. The lesson here, never trust the pretty box, always go with a company that is willing to just give you the settings you need and not install software all over the place! That being said, Time Warner did the same…

    Had to do some meetings this morning and deal with some issues so I’ve been busy. A recurring theme seems to be problems with email delivery. For example, one of our users sent an email to about 100 people late yesterday, with a 25 page .pdf attached. All of these people are on one of…

    Just a few things I’ve noticed while catching up with my blogrolls: Brad is trying to get enough money to buy a Mac, and he’s auctioning off some stuff to do it. I liked what Scoble and Doc had to say about the MacWorld news, not because I’m anti-Mac, but because they did a far…
