New York Times Article on Blogging Great for Reger.com

Scobelizer: "The New York Times, this week, wrote an article reporting that for many bloggers, blogging is an addiction (the article made it seem like bloggers are weirdos who have no social lives)."

Most bloggers seem upset that the New York Times is taking this view. I find it great news. As the proprietor of a service, Reger.com, the fact that people are addicted to the product is spectacular. It's not like the NYT is claiming that the addiction is a clinical problem... they're just pointing out that a culture, lifestyle and ethos can develop around the technology. Hey, it's better than being in a business where people don't care about your product... like valve stems for commercial ice makers.
