Compulsive Blog-reading…
Aug 8, ’03
2:51 AM
Okay, this has to stop. Seriously. Every time I sit down at my computer, I find myself compulsively clicking through the list of about four dozen blogs in my "Favorites" menu (most of which I still need to add to the blogroll on the right). Moreover, when I do finally start working, I'm interrupted every so often with a vaguely OCD-ish need to check every blog to see if anybody's posted anything new (and as much as I hate the dude's politics most of the time, Glenn Reynolds' posting frequency doesn't help matters).
The problem seems to be that my daily internet reading is no longer limited to newspapers/magazines, which generally work on a daily news cycle at most (yeah, I know that online newspapers update through the day - hell, I worked at one - but we're not talking about a constant stream of new material). Instead, I'm stuck with a bunch of blogs, updated frequently and at unpredictible schedules by lots of people whose writing and opinions I like and admire. I already know that I have compulsive tendencies when it comes to news (witness my near-pathological media consumption post-September 11th), and the whole blogosphere thing isn't helping one bit.
Any suggestions/comments/12-step programs for dealing with this? Today I discovered that Trillian has an RSS plugin, which is only going to make things worse...

One Comment so far. Leave a comment below.Yeah I have a few myself that I read but there is one that I read DAILY. I check in on it several times. I like her designs and how she expresses herself even if it isn’t something all that exciting. I find myself signing on to the internet and that’s the first thing I go to. Sad.
