Business Blogging

Hillary Johnson writes a very entertaining article from a regular business blog reader’s viewpoint:

My habit these days is to make a cup of Lapsang souchong before sunrise, then curl up with my laptop to read e-mail and peruse the collection of business-related weblogs I follow on a regular basis….When I tell people that I read blogs, they usually say something vaguely condescending to the effect that “it must be nice to have so much free time.” Most people think of blogs as public diaries kept by the kinds of egotists who make loud, inappropriate political comments at family barbecues or hog the discussion at book clubs, or wannabe journalists who post inflammatory stories with no fact-checking….The truth is that I recently quit my day job to start a company of my own and have absolutely no free time. The business blogs I read aren’t written by, or for, fools. Reading them is something I consider part–granted, an entertaining part–of my “job.”

As a “blogg-er,” it is wonderful to hear the perspective of an avid “blog-ee.”
